KeyWords In Context (KWIC)

offers the traditional single line KWIC listing, with one or more keywords in the centre, or displays the keyword(s) in a larger block of up to 15 lines of text. If searching for a single keyword, this will as far as possible appear in the centre of the chosen context unit.

If the text to be read is in a language other than English, use the pull-down menu to apply the correct lexicographic conventions.

The character string to search for may include the wild card characters '@' and '*', causing individual letters corresponding to the position of the character '@', and all characters after, and including, the position of the character '*', to be ignored in searching. This, for example, provides a way to treat words as equivalent which differ only in their suffixes, e.g. plural forms.
