Find a lexical entry

This Find lexical entry feature and the Find in Lexicon are different.

To find an entry, you can search for a form (lexeme form, citation form or allomorph), gloss or definition. In some cases, you use it to go to the entry. In other cases, you use it to select an entry you want to add to a field, such as in the Complex Forms field.

  1. In applicable Lexicon views, do one of the following to open the Find Lexical Entry dialog box:

    The Find Lexical Entry dialog box appears.

  2. In the Writing System box, select the writing system of the form or gloss.

  3. In the Find box, type the form or gloss.

  4. If the entry does not appear (Lexical Entries pane), do any of the following:

  5. If the entry appears (Lexical Entries pane), click it. Click Go To or Select.

In Dictionary, if the entry is not published, then an Entry not published warning box appears. In this case, close the warning box, and then select All Entries on the information bar. Alternatively, you can select the publication in the Publish Entry In field.
