Features and benefits

• The powerful Advanced search makes it possible to exploit the vast wealth of information in OED to the full. Complex search expressions can be built through the use of Boolean operators, case-sensitive searching, exact character searching, restricting searches to previous search results, and an extended range of wildcard options
• The automatic Look-up feature enables fast access to OED headwords from any Microsoft Office^® 97, 2000, or XP application. This feature can be used within the OED CD-ROM itself to look up words in the definition or quotation text
