➤Understanding Expansions
Each time that you expand a search, similar words are added to your search and more matches are found.
The first time that you press
MORE , inflections are added (e.g., believe and believed to belief).
The second time that you press MORE , compound and related words are added (e.g., believer and unbelief to belief).
The third time that you press
MORE , synonyms are added (e.g., understand and surely to belief).
