In order to look up a word in LexWeb, fill out the Dictionary
Search Mask as follows:
Insert your keyword in the first slot (the search is not case
sensitive).
You can limit the number of results. By default, the first 10 results
will be displayed.
Choose between exact or fuzzy search.
If you want only lemmas displayed that are linked in the dictionary
network, tick the box “linked lemmas only”.
Tick the box or boxes of the dictionaries to be searched:
If you want all dictionaries to be searched tick the box
“Dictionaries”, all the boxes will be activated automatically.
If you just want to search a special group of dictionaries, e.g.
Middle High German dictionaries, tick the box “Mittelhochdeutsche
Wörterbücher”. The boxes of the four dictionaries of this group will be
activated.
If you want to search in single dictionaries tick the individual
boxes.
You can also combine searching a group and a single dictionary of
another group.
To start the search click the icon “Start search”.
