<para>The usage is very simple. You select a module to in the <guilabel>Search in module</guilabel> combo-box. Then you enter the phrase to lookup and press <guibutton>Start Search</guibutton>. All found messages are shown in the list below, which is the same as a tool in the &kbabel; main window. Searching can be stopped by pressing <guilabel>Stop</guilabel>. In case you want to search in translated text, not in original English message, you should use <guilabel>Search in translations</guilabel>. </para>
<para>Buttons on the bottom of the window can be used for closing &kbabeldict;, showing/hiding the module settings or displaying a dialogue with credits for &kbabeldict; and the modules themselves. </para>
