    General information

    The Search terms are words:

    • in Greek or/and in Latin alphabet
    • with or without accentuation (for Greek)
    • that can be truncated in the beginning and/or in the end

    Truncation

    Truncation is useful when you don't know the exact match of a word.

    Depending on the case you may use the characters * or ? at the left, both right and left or in the right side of a string so that a word:

    Starts with an arbitrary character before the known part of the word string e.g..*ovinescu or ?ovinescu

    Starts with the same stem   e.g. Lovinesc* or Lovinesc? but it ends with an arbitrary character/s

     

    Starts and ends with arbitrary characters (* or ?), which means that we know the middle part of the word, e.g. *ovin* or ?ovin* or even *ovin? or ?ovin?
