=== Search ===
You can type Toaq or English words in the search bar.
Hint: Verbs are conjugated in Toaq definition, so if you want a word for "to spy" you should search for <code>spies</code>.
If you only want to see definitions in English, set "search scope 'en' only:" to '''yes''' above the search bar. You can change the search scope by editing the scope field in the add-new-word form on the front page.
You can type <code>option:value</code> options in the search bar together with your search terms, such as <code>pai scope:tok</code> or <code>head:fu</code> or <code>cat user:lynn</code>. (The "head" is the Toaq word that an entry defines.)
The <code>head:</code> options supports special pattern-searching syntax: <code>C</code>/<code>V</code> match any consonant/vowel, <code>?</code> matches any letter, and <code>*</code> matches one or more letters. For example, <code>head:saCVq</code> finds words of the shape sa+consonant+vowel+q, and <code>head:*ke</code> finds words ending in -ke.
=== Defining words ===
You can add new words from the front page. When writing a definition, type three underscores <code>___</code> to leave an argument place. It will be converted into a fancy ▯ automatically.
