Dictionary Feature: Wildcard Search

Question

Hi everyone!

I wanted to let you know of a new feature we implemented in the dictionary. It's called a wildcard search, which means you can search for only part of a word (e.g. "-ing") and then find the most popular words that include those letters.

The wildcard symbol which we use is the asterisk ( * ). For example, if I search for *ing, this will return the search results:

• morning
• bring
• going
• amazing
• anything
• camping
• parking
• smoking
• jogging
• footing

You can put the asterik anywhere in the word, so a search for p*o is also valid, and returns the search results:

• pronto
• potato
• peso
• patio
• piano
• pero
• puesto
• poco
• perro
• paso

Cool, huh? We hope you enjoy this new SpanishDict feature. Feel free to leave a comment to let us know how this feature is working for you.
