Can one use wildcard characters to look up words in online dictionary? (have ver. 2.14.0)
Asked by
Greg Supina
Regarding the online dictionary which comes with Ubuntu (have version 2.14.0):
If I want to look up a word, but I only know an inflected form of that word (e.g., paraenetic), and I do not know any lexical form of that word, I would like to enter something like PARANE* in the dictionary -- using the wildcard character ( * ) to fill in for all the remaining characters after PARANE. Then, after entering this, I would like to receive a list of possible forms existing in the dictionary, i.e., all the forms which begin with "parane."
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks. Greg.
