The usage is very simple. You select a module to in the Search in module combo-box. Then you enter the phrase to lookup and press Start Search. 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 Stop. In case you want to search in translated text, not in original English message, you should use Search in translations.

Buttons on the bottom of the window can be used for closing &kbabeldict;, showing/hiding the module settings or displaying a dialog with credits for &kbabeldict; and the modules themselves.
