The first search field is in the box above the text options ». For each word you fill inn, you may or may not specify its grammatical properties (if you don't, but ask for the lemma form, you will get all inflected forms of the word in question. If you have several search words, you may specify the minimum and/or maximum number of words you allow between them. You may also leave the text field empty, and search for, say, any verb in the past tense indicative followed by a locative noun. The search interface makes it possible to search for sentences with specific words, grammatical categories, and (indirectly) grammatical constructions.
When the sentences are displayed, the grammatical analysis of each word is given by pointing at it with the mouse. Cf. the explanations of the abbreviations for the morphological and syntactical tags.
