lemma list search
This option requires you to have chosen and loaded a lemma file. If the lemma file you've loaded specifies for example speak -> speaks, spoke, spoken then if your search-word is speak, the concordance will contain examples of all four forms.
Context word(s) and search horizons
You may wish to find a word or phrase depending on the context. In that case you can specify context word(s) which you want, or which you do not want (and if found will mean that entry is not used).
For example, if the search word is book* and the context word is hotel, you'll get book, books, booked, booking, bookable, but only if hotel is found within your Context Search Horizons.
The search span is either a range such as L5 up to R5, or else an exact position. In the shot here the exact L2 position has been chosen, requiring the search-word lov* to have someone exactly 2 positions to its left.
You may type tag mark-up in here too, e.g. search for book with a context word <ADJ>* in position up to L3 will find book with a preceding adjective if your text has that sort of mark-up and if you've defined a tag file including <ADJ>.
In the screenshot above you see that "stop at sentence break" has been selected, meaning that a collocation search will only go left or right of the search-word up to a sentence-end. This is further explained here.
The search will find and highlight multiple occurrences of the context word within the horizons.
exclude if search is or context contains:
If the search word is book* and the exclude if box has hotel, you'll get book, books, booked, booking, bookable, as long as hotel is not found within your context search horizons. Or if the search word is *ish and the exclusion specifies fish, you'll get yellowish, greenish, etc. but not fish. You can insert more than one item, e.g. fish/squish.
Batch
Suppose you're concordancing book* in 20 text files: you might want One concordance based on all 20 files (the default), or instead 20 separate concordances in a zipped batch which can be viewed separately (Text Batch). If you have multiple search-words in a file-based search as explained above, you may want each result saved separately (SW Batch).
