Understood.


Then I think may be of utility the Intelli Web Search free version for searching with Google or other engine.

If we can use wild cards may be enough.

Sorry, I only just now read/understood this query.
Check out Logos: Logos 2.3 for Windows (Build 124) Released 27/2/2002



EDIT 2017-09-14:
The plain text in the above image is in the spoiler below:
Spoiler      LOGOS - The Word-Searching Application.
      Notes for @Contro:
      There is a brilliantly useful little word-searching application called LOGOS that I have used for years in helping solve crosswords with partial words, anagrams, "hidden" words and palindromes.
      Just click the link to get the installer (the link is on Wayback): Logos 2.3 for Windows (Build 124) Released 27/2/2002
      <http://web.archive.org/web/20020603035830/http://homepage.ntlworld.com:80/jeremy.riley/Logos/Downloads.html>
      Install and start up.
      To find your word, I selected the Crossword tab in the Logos GUI, typed in Gua*la*ra, and Logos promptly displayed "guadalajara":
      
      The Logos download installs the English dictionary by default.
      There are other languages for the user to download, but I haven't tried those.
      The application is portable (can go in any directory), but the files need to be filed in and follow the structure of subdirectories as below:
      
      Screen clipping taken: 2017-09-13 07:43
      
      Screen clipping taken: 2017-09-13 07:43
      
      The application has a trial licence that does not expire.The Help file is very informative.

After some further searching, I have found that there is a newer, but inactive website for Logos: <http://www.moorscape.com/logos/>
 - where one can download what seems to be the latest version: Logos 2.6 for Windows (Build 127) Released 20/12/2005 - which version seems to install and work just fine.
However, the website seems to have not been updated since 2005, and at the Order page <http://www.moorscape.com/logos/Order.html> it says the software is no longer being updated and there's no need to register (pay) for use:
Due to other commitments I am no longer developing or updating Logos. I have therefore suspended new registations (sic) I don't want you to pay and be disappointed that there are no updates. However please contact me if you have any queries.
