## Toolbar
![toolbar](img/toolbar.webp)
Type your word in Search Box and press `Enter` to search word in the current selected group. You can also choose a variant from a matches list.
Holding Ctrl or Shift will display the translation result in a new tab.
### Wildcard matching
The search line can use wildcard or glob symbols for matching words.
| Wildcard | Description |
|----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `?` | Matches any single character. |
| `*` | Matches zero or more of any characters. |
| `[abc]` | Matches one character given in the bracket. |
| `[a-c]` | Matches one character from the range given in the bracket. |
| `[!abc]` | Matches one character that is not given in the bracket. |
| `[!a-c]` | Matches one character that is not from the range given in the bracket. |
| `\` | Escaping wildcard symbols, e.g. `\?` to search `?` |
!!! note
The wildcard symbol in the first character leads to scanning of every dictionary's every word and may take a long time.
More information about wildcard matching can be found in [Wikipedia's glob article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)).
## Dictionary Bar

Click the icons to select/unselect them.
