+<title>Using the Dictionary</title>
+
+<para>&kiten;'s most basic mode is as a dictionary for looking up both
+English and Japanese words. You can also add other dictionaries to
+&kiten;'s list.</para>
+
+<para>&kiten; uses Jim Breen's Edict and Kanjidic as the default dictionaries. You can find more information at <ulink url="http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/edict.html">the Edict web site</ulink> and <ulink url="http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/kanjidic.html">the Kanjidic web site</ulink>.</para>
+
+<sect1 id="looking-up-words"> 
+<title>Looking Up Words</title>
+
+<para>To look up words in either language, type them in to the
+text-edit (much like &konqueror;'s location bar) and press either
+<keycap>Enter</keycap> or the <guilabel>Search</guilabel> button on
+the toolbar (again, much like &konqueror;). &kiten; will then look up
+the word.</para>
+
+<para>You can enter Kanji, Kana and English and get back results from
+&kiten;.  These results of your search will appear in the large
+results view which takes up the majority of the &kiten; window.</para>

+Rare</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.</para>
+
+<note><para>Not all dictionary files support filtering rare entries -
+most dictionaries, excluding the two provided by default in &kiten; do

+<title>Advanced Searches</title>

+<title>Options for Matching English</title>
+
+<para>Case sensitivity and whole-word matching can be enabled or
+disabled by choosing
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
+Kiten...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, and then choosing the
+<guilabel>Searching</guilabel> item on the list on the left. The
+options can be enabled by checking the check boxes and disabled by
+unchecking the check boxes on this page. These options are global and
+affect all searches.</para>

+
+<sect2> 
+<title>Beginning/Anywhere Searches</title>
+
+<para>To search for the beginning of a word, instead of pressing the
+<guilabel>Search</guilabel> button on the toolbar or pressing
+<keycap>Return</keycap> on the text-entry in the toolbar, choose
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Search</guimenu><guimenuitem>Search with
+Beginning of Word</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. Similarly, choose
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Search</guimenu><guimenuitem>Search
+Anywhere</guimenuitem></menuchoice> to search for your text anywhere
+in a word. These search modes work for searches of both
+languages.</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2> 
+<title>Searching in Results</title>
+
+<para>&kiten; can also help you refine your searches by allowing you
+to search for new text in the results generated by a previous
+search. To do this, just choose
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Search</guimenu><guimenuitem>Search in
+Results</guimenuitem></menuchoice> to perform your search.</para>

+
+<sect1 id="deinf"> 
+<title>Verb Deinflection</title>
+
+<para>&kiten; can deinflect verbs you search for. To enable this, make
+sure <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Deinflect
+Verbs in Regular Search</guimenuitem></menuchoice> is checked. &kiten;
+will then deinflect Japanese you search for that starts with a Kanji
+and ends with a Kana.</para>
+<para>
+The "Deinflect" option tries to unconjugate Japanese verbs. Deinflect only supports the common verb conjugations. If you search a lot of Japanese text you might consider using this option until you get used to handling Japanese verb forms.
