[SOLVED] Search in a dictionary incomplete words software

Suppose the word Guadalajara.

Quite often Google is faster to use than installed software.

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.

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

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 it says the software is no longer being updated and there's no need to register (pay) for use: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.

Great ! DC beats Google

I have benefited too from it (thumbnails of video).

The interface of Logos reminds me of WordWeb which may have that capability since its online version does.

I suppose we can add new words to a .dic file. Do We ?

WordWeb is not a spell checker, but a dictionary.

Yes, you can with the Pro version.

WordWeb is not a spell checker, but a dictionary.

Can we add words and its meanings to a dic file ?

Can we edit a dic file ? How ?

Use custom glossaries
You can add your own technical glossaries (or list of company acronyms, etc) using the option on the "Glossaries" menu.
