After entering the first two letters in the search field the auto-suggest list for the multilingual search (WordlistOverviewForm) appears beneath. The list is connected to the selected portal language, and displays the terms of this language. A suggested term may be chosen.

This term will be searched for in the various search languages that registered users have activated in their user profile.

In the public portal (not being logged-in) only the English langauge is activated in the Simple Search.

A mouse click on the "GO" button or a <RETURN> starts the search.
