When you search for a word, either by entering it at the Word Search screen or by highlighting it in text, titles and headings (in bold type) are searched first for exact matches. If no exact matches are found in titles or headings, then the text is searched for exact matches.
If no exact matches are found, then the titles and headings are searched for inexact matches, such as inflec- tions and synonyms. If no inexact matches are found in the titles and headings, then the text is searched.
A word search stops as soon as matches are found at a level de- scribed above. Pressing MORE (red) expands the search to the next level and finds additional matches, if any.
The number of matches found at a given search level may be less than at the previous level.
