5.1 Searching
When looking up in the glossary the QUICKfind browser will first search for the word as a headword and then it will find occurrences of the word in the article texts. Below is an example of looking up the word "Flash" :

6 matches are found of the word "Flash" in the headwords (called "Headword match"), see upper part of the example above, and 33 occurrences of the word "Flash" are found in the article texts (called "Content match"). These occurrences are highlighted by a yellow background.

If you want to look a word you see inside the glossary itself, then simply right-click on the mouse and the word beneath the moue-cursor is looked up immediately.
