To search for a term, write it in the text box at Téarma/Term. You may enter a term in Irish or English (or in any other language, such as Latin in the case of names for flora and fauna) and the search engine will search the whole database. You don’t need to enter which language you are going to write. When you search for a term, you will see Exact Matches first and underneath those you will see Related Terms - that is every term in the database which contains the term you entered. The search for Related Terms works on the level of words. For example if you write verse, you will find free verse and verse dialogue among the Related Terms, but you won’t find adverse or overseas. When you search for a term, you will see similar terms directly under the text box containing the term you typed. This gives you terms from the database that are similar to the term you typed. The purpose of this feature is to help you if you have made a spelling mistake or if you don’t know the term’s correct spelling. There is information in the database about the inflected forms of terms and it uses this information to find related terms in every search. For example, if you search for the term monarcha, under Related Terms will be listed every term which contains the word monarcha, or any of its inflected forms (monarchan, monarchana), with or without lenition (séimhiú): limistéar monarchana, feirmeoireacht mhonarchan, and so on. This works in both languages, Irish and English. The search process ignores punctuation. For example, it doesn’t matter whether you write lesser-used or lesser used, you will get the same results. The Quick Search is carried out on the basis of whole words or of parts of compound words which have a punctuation mark between them. So, if you search for tooth you won’t find toothpick but you will find saw-tooth roof and round double-tooth. The English language contains many terms which can be written as compound words or as multi-word terms, with or without a hyphen, such as rain forest/rainforest, toothpick/tooth-pick. The Quick Search takes this into account. If you type a term in one of the forms, the search engine will suggest the other forms as well, provided they exist in the database. For example, if you search for tooth-pick, you will not find it because no such term exists in the database, but the compound word toothpick will be given to you instead. This works in the opposite direction as well: if you look for the compound word rainforest, the search engine will give you rain forest. If you enter a term, the written form of which is the same as another term in the other language, for example basal, bean, you will see results in both languages and you can click either of them as you wish.

Chun téarma a chuardach, scríobh isteach é sa bhosca téacs san áit a bhfuil Téarma/Term. Is féidir leat téarma i nGaeilge nó i mBéarla a scríobh (nó i dteanga ar bith eile, mar shampla i Laidin i gcás ainmneacha plandaí agus ainmhithe) agus cuardóidh an t-inneall an bunachar go léir. Ní gá duit a chur in iúl cén teanga atá á hionchur agat. Níl an cuardach seo cásíogair – is é sin le rá, is cuma cé acu focal nó FOCAL (nó fiú FoCaL) a scríobhann tú, gheobhaidh tú na torthaí céanna. Nuair a chuardaíonn tú téarma, feicfidh tú Torthaí Beachta ar dtús agus thíos fúthu sin, feicfidh tú Téarmaí Gaolmhara - is é sin gach téarma sa bhunachar a bhfuil an téarma a scríobh tú féin mar chuid de. Oibríonn cuardach na dtéarmaí gaolmhara ar leibhéal na bhfocal. Mar shampla, má scríobhann tú verse, gheobhaidh tú free verse agus verse dialogue i measc na dtéarmaí gaolmhara, ach ní bhfaighidh tú adverse nó overseas. Nuair a chuardaíonn tú téarma, feicfidh tú téarmaí cosúla díreach faoin mbosca téacs ina bhfuil an téarma a chlóscríobh tú. Deir sé seo leat cé hiad na téarmaí eile sa bhunachar atá cosúil leis an téarma a scríobh tú isteach. Tá sé seo ceaptha chun cuidiú leat i gcás go ndéanann tú botún litrithe nó i gcás nach bhfuil litriú ceart an téarma ar eolas agat. Tá eolas sa bhunachar téarmaíochta ar fhoirmeacha infhillte na dtéarmaí, agus úsáideann sé an t-eolas seo chun téarmaí gaolmhara a aimsiú ar gach cuardach. Mar shampla, má lorgaíonn duine an téarma monarcha, liostófar faoi Théarmaí Gaolmhara gach téarma a bhfuil an focal monarcha, nó aon fhoirm infhillte de (monarchan, monarchana), le séimhiú nó gan é, mar chuid de: limistéar monarchana, feirmeoireacht mhonarchan, agus eile. Oibríonn sé seo sa dá theanga, Béarla agus Gaeilge. Déanann an próiseas cuardaigh neamhaird de phoncaíocht. Mar shampla, is cuma an scríobhann tú lesser-used nó lesser used, gheobhaidh tú na torthaí céanna i gcónaí. Is ar bhonn focal iomlán nó codanna de chomhfhocail a bhfuil poncaíocht eatarthu a dhéanann an t-inneall an Cuardach Tapa. Más ea, má lorgaíonn tú cairt ní bhfaighidh tú cairtchlár ach gheobhaidh tú barra-chairt agus ponc-chairt. Tá roinnt téarmaí sa Bhéarla ar féidir iad a scríobh mar chomhfhocail nó mar théarmaí ilfhoclacha, le fleiscín nó gan é. Cuir i gcás rain forest/rainforest, toothpick/tooth-pick. Aithníonn an Cuardach Tapa gur mar seo atá. Má scríobhann tú téarma i gceann de na foirmeacha, déanfaidh an t-inneall cuardaigh na foirmeacha eile a thairiscint duit comh maith, más ann dóibh sa bhunachar. Mar shampla, má chuardaíonn tú tooth-pick, ní bhfaighidh tú é mar níl a leithéid de théarma sa bhunachar, ach gheobhaidh tú an comhfhocal toothpick. Oibríonn sé seo sa treo eile chomh maith: má chuardaíonn tú an comhfhocal rainforest, gheobhaidh tú rain forest. Má scríobhann tú téarma i dteanga amháin arb ionann an leagan scríofa de agus téarma eile sa teanga eile, mar shampla basal, bean, feicfidh tú torthaí sa dá theanga agus is féidir leat cliceáil ar cibé ceann is mian leat.
