*Usage Instructions -*

1. Click on the triple bar on the left top corner.
2. Download the dictionaries you want to use from 'Manage Dictionaries'
3. Click on the 'Back' arrow to go back to the Home Page.
4. If you want to search 'Headwords', type in the first search bar.
5. If you want to search inside 'Definitions', type in the second search
bar.
6. If you want to search for the entries having given word in 'Headword'
and some other given word in 'Definition', type in both search bars.

By default, the searches will be treated as 'prefix' searches.
You can change them to 'exact', 'suffix' or 'substring' searches from
'Preferences'.
You can also change your preferred input and output transliteration schemes
from ‘Preferences’.

If you find an error or would like to verify the printed text, you can
click on 'PDF' or 'Correction' links below each entry.

Note - Users using the web or web app version should not download too many
dictionaries on the first go. Data resides in your browser cache. Once you
are confident that your computer and browser are capable of handling
installed dictionaries, gradually scale up. I tested with all dictionaries
in Safari on MacOS with 16GB RAM. It was working well, but it may differ
from machine to machine.
