+ <h3>Searching</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li> Type a single word to search for it. QuickDic searches as you type,
+ jumping to the relevant position in the list.
+ <li> (NEW) Type multiple words separated by spaces. QuickDic finds all
+ the rows containing all of the words and displays them.
+ <li> QuickDic tries to sort words using a romanized transliteration,
+ so you can try searching for non-Latin words using the Latin alphabet.
+ <li> If the search text box isn't focused, you can start typing and its
+ contents will be replaced.
+ </ul>
