* Selecting '''Any term''' will perform your search against any language fields. It will also include results <u>containing</u> your search string within a term's definition or translation.

:*Searching '''chos dbyings''' will only list entries with '''chos dbyings''' in the ''Wylie'' field. It will not list '''chos dbyings ye shes''', for example.
 
−
* Selecting any of the different language fields will perform your search only within that particular language.
 
−
:*Looking for '''chos nyid''' within Chinese will [obviously] yield no results.

:*Also, all non-western scripts should be typed in Unicode.
 
−
* Selecting '''Phonetics''' will only search within our catch-all anglicized field, be it english pronunciation of Tibetan (non-wylie), or westernized Sanskrit (i.e. without proper diacritics, etc.) or Chinese phonetics, etc.
 
−
* Selecting '''Term Definition''' will only search within longer definitions from glossaries that contain them. Longer definitions are actual explanations of terms, as opposed to simple English translations.
 
−
:*Though please note that '''this type of search is not recommended''' as currently, the system indexes only the first 40 characters of a definition for searching.
