Substring lookups: You can select an arbitrary part of the search field text with the mouse to look it up in the dictionary while preserving the contents of the search field. This might be handy if you entered several words and the results are too bulky.

Query suggestions: While typing text into the search field you will be shown a list of suggestions that best match your input. You may click on one of the suggested words to look it up or continue typing and send your query as usual. Note that if the word you are looking for is not in the list this does not mean that it is not in the dictionary.

Note: Unlike many other sites, this dictionary works perfectly without Javascript, but you have to enable Javascript to use the above features.

Spelling suggestions: If you look up a single word that is not in the dictionary you will get a list of English and Zulu spelling suggestions (if possible), i.e. dictionary entries that are similar to the word you typed in. You can then click on any of the suggested words to look it up. The English list is based on GNU Aspell while the Zulu list is created with a homegrown soundex-like algorithm.
