Title: How to search translations of Greek terminology in this forum
Post by: spiros on 14 Jan, 2006, 15:58:25
The easiest way to search on this forum is select your language pair from the drop-down menu, i.e. EN⇄EL for English Greek or Greek for Greek monolingual queries.

In order to increase the possibility of finding a match, simply omit one-letter words or pronouns. For example,  instead of searching watch your language you can search for watch language (which would match both watch your language and watch one's language if they exist); also, instead of searching catch a nap, you can use catch nap as search words (which would match both catch a nap and catch napping if they exist). I guess you catch the drift (https://www.translatum.gr/forum/index.php?topic=243685.0) (pun intended).

Also, we highly recommend using the Magic search (https://www.translatum.gr/forum/index.php?topic=178408.0) option from the Translatum Search tools (https://www.translatum.gr/forum/index.php?topic=132682.0) tab on the left or the EN-EL MS option from the search dropdown. This tool provides results from numerous online sources (including this forum) in a single page format.

Also highly recommended:

— Search dictionaries with a single click on your browser (https://www.translatum.gr/forum/index.php?topic=341832.0)

Update 2020
A new theme was added called "Sunrise". You can also search on a specific board or topic if you are browsing that board or topic. Click on the Context-Sensitive-Search icon on the top right. This is the same functionality as an older version.

Update 2022
Search results have been enhanced with Google search links for source and target text (https://www.translatum.gr/forum/index.php?topic=1003780.0). For a quick anatomy of search results, consult the linked topic above and/or the screenshots below:
