Figure: The Dictionary Search Results View

There are three hits in total, one in the Middle High German Dictionary by Georg Friedrich Benecke (BMZ) for the spelling with a capital, and two more for the lemma in lower case in the Middle High German Dictionary by Matthias Lexer (LEX) and the Middle High German Word ListSupplement by Kurt Gärtner et al. (FiB). For orientation, the first line of the article (up to 13 words of the lemma) is displayed.

If the number of results exceeds the display limit, you can view the remaining hits by clicking on the next or the previous button.

All three hits of the actual search are linked to the entries in the dictionary network, which is indicated by the symbol @, next to the short form.

Note: In order to specify your search, you can also use wildcards. The asterisk (*) substitutes any zero or more characters, and the question mark (?) substitutes exactly one character. You can combine these search methods. For instance to look up all words beginning with the characters “Wur”, followed by any characters and ending on “e” plus one more character, the search term to be used is “Wur*e?”.
