Anagram Search

There are three ways of anagram searching in the program:

• Anagrams Only
  
  Search for precise anagrams, i.e. words, created by the text letters rearrangement. For example: miracle = reclaim.
  
  Wildcard characters can be used:
  
  — ? instead of one unknown letter;
  — @ instead of any vowel;
  — $ instead of any consonant letter;
  — 0..9 instead of duplicate letters.
  
  For example: magnet? = augment, garment, magenta, magnate, montage etc.
  
  User can find isograms: 112233 = bilabial, Caucasus.
  
  
• "Descending" Search
  
  Search for all words that can be created from the text letters.
  
  For example, for the word option the program will find the word list: point, piton, top, into, tip etc.
  
  User can find words, in which each letter occurs only once; query abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz will return words: ambidextrously, hydropneumatic, dermatoglyphics, hyperosculating.
  
  
• "Ascending" Search
  
  Search for all words that include all letters of the text.
  
  For example, for the word element the program will find the word list: settlement, development, experimental, acknowledgement, electromagnetism etc.

In "descending" and "ascending" modes the range of found words can be decreased using pattern (check box Use pattern). The special wildcard characters can be used in pattern: the character ? is used instead of one unknown letter, the character * is used instead of few letters, @ is used instead of any vowel, $ is used instead of any consonant letter, & is used instead of few vowels, # is used instead of few consonant letters, digits 0..9 are used instead of duplicate letters. The character ! changes the meaning of next symbol on opposite. If there are few possible letters on the specific position in the word, these letters must be written in round brackets.

"Weight" of found words also can be considered in search process. User can define the precise "weight" value for word searching.
