Remember to take advantage of all the metadata that the database provides. A domain is mentioned with most of the terms in the database. It consists of a label which explains in what general area of life a term is used: biology, politics, engineering, and so on. By using Advanced Search, you can limit your search to a particular subject area if you like. That is, you can ask for a list which only includes terms with a certain subject-area label. For example, if you search for every English term starting with meta, you will find almost 200 terms. If that is too many, you can ask for a subset of those by adding a domain to the search, for example Philosophy – which results in about 10 terms. Some areas are hierarchical. For example, we have Sports and Sports > Diving. If you select Sports as a search area, you will find terms which come under Diving as well. A collection may often be mentioned with an entry also. A collection is a dictionary or a glossary in which the entry was published (in the case of dictionaries already published) or is about to be published (in the case of dictionaries which are still at the editing stage). You may also confine your search to a single collection using Advanced Search. Remember to take advantage of definitions and usage examples, in Irish and in English, that are sometimes provided with terms. Entries, immediately after the term and in brackets, can help the user to make a distinction between different meanings of the same term.

Cuimhnigh buntáiste a bhaint as na meiteashonraí go léir a sholáthraíonn an bunachar sonraí. Luaitear réimse leis an gcuid is mó de théarmaí sa bhunachar. Lipéad atá i gceist a thugann le fios cén réimse saoil a mbaineann an téarma leis: bitheolaíocht, polaitíocht, innealtóireacht, agus araile. Is féidir torthaí an chuardaigh faoin gCuardach Casta a theorannú ó thaobh réimse más maith leat, is é sin, gan ach iontrálacha a bhfuil réimse áirithe ag gabháil leo a liostáil. Mar shampla, má chuardaíonn tú gach téarma Béarla dar tús meta, gheobhaidh tú beagnach 200 téarma. Má tá an iomarca sa mhéid sin duit, is féidir fothacar díobh a fháil ach réimse éigin a chur leis an gcuardach, mar shampla Fealsúnacht – rud a thugann timpeall is 10 dtéarma. Tá cuid de na réimsí ordlathach, mar shampla tá Spórt ann agus tá Spórt > Tumadóireacht ann. Má roghnaíonn tú spórt mar réimse cuardaigh, gheobhaidh tú téarmaí a bhfuil Tumadóireacht luaite leo chomh maith. Is minic bailiúchán a bheith luaite le hiontráil chomh maith. Séard is bailiúchán ann ná foclóir nó gluais inar foilsíodh an iontráil (i gcás foclóirí atá foilsithe cheana) nó a bhfuiltear chun an iontráil a fhoilsiú ann (i gcás foclóirí atá fós á gcur in eagar). Más maith leat torthaí an chuardaigh a theorannú ó thaobh bailiúcháin, is féidir é sin a dhéanamh sa bhosca deireanach faoin gCuardach Casta. Cuimhnigh ar bhuntáiste a bhaint as sainmhínithe agus samplaí úsáide as Béarla agus as Gaeilge a ghabhann le téarmaí áirithe. Cuidíonn an intreoir leis an úsáideoir idirdhealú a dhéanamh idir bríonna éagsúla den téarma céanna. Tagann an intreoir tar éis an téarma idir lúibíní.
