 **note:** the "*" wildcard has nothing to do with the //Manuel de Codage// code "*" for grouping signs.
+==== The "[...]" button ====
+This buttons allows you to introduce variation in the signs you want to find. The system will search for any **one** of the signs between the [...].
+For instance, "𓊪[𓏲𓅱]" will search both for 𓊪𓏲 and for 𓊪𓅱.
+==== Variants in searches ====
+If you select "Extended variants", search result will include texts which contain **any** variant of your signs **as recorded in JSesh.**
+As 𓏲 and 𓅱 are considered as variants, the following search will find occurrences of both 𓊪𓏲 and 𓊪𓅱.
+Compared to the use of [...], this system is less precise ([...] allows you to specify exactly what you are looking for). It might be more exhaustive in some cases. It's however dependent on the quality of JSesh sign descriptions. The current information about variant is still very lacunar - sign descriptions require a lot of work.
+{{ :doc:en:variantsinsearch.png?nolink |Search, including variants}}
+Any kind of recorded variants will be used, as well as variants of variants. It is expected that a more precise system will be implemented at some point.
+===== Search in non-hieroglyphic texts =====
+Search is no longer restricted to the hieroglyphs. If you have typed translation or transliterations, you can search them too...
+Select **search in alphabetic texts**...
+{{ :doc:en:textsearch.png?nolink |Selection of type of search}}
+Then type your text (search will disregard case) :
