+You then need to describe what you want to search. JSesh is quite powerful here. You
+can both search for hieroglyphic and non-hieroglyphic text.
+By default, the search will look for corresponding //sequences// of signs, regardless of their layout. If
+you want to search for a specific layout, check the "Whole Quadrant Match" box.
+===== Searching for Hieroglyphic Text =====
+Searching for hieroglyphic text can be quite simple. Type the text you are looking for in the search field (see picture below), and press the "search" button.
+{{ :doc:en:finddialog1.png?nolink |Simple search}}
+By default, the search will look for //sequences// of signs, regardless of their layout. If you want to search
+for a specific layout, check the **Whole Quadrant Match** box.
+===== Advanced Search for Hieroglyphic Text =====
+You will notice a number buttons below the text field. They allow you to include more variability in the text you are looking for.
+==== The "*" wildcard ====
+The "*" button allows you to search for sequences of non-strictly consecutive signs. For instance, 𓁹"*"𓏏 will search for sequences of signs containing 𓁹, then possibly a number of other signs, then 𓏏.
