Example: An index has been created for one file only, which contains only the following words: Nutztier, Tier, Tierschützer, transportieren, Untier.

Using this data two different searches are performed:
1.    First of all the term Tier is entered, which corresponds to a search for "Tier*". This means that all words will be found which start with "Tier" or "tier".
    Initially the word "Tier" is marked:      A click on "Search forwards" causes "Tierschützer" to be marked:
    Tier   Tierschützer
    Any further forwards search results in the message »No further entry for this search term«.
2.   Now the search term *Tier is entered, which corresponds to a search for "*Tier*". This means that all words will be found which contain the terms "Tier" or "tier".
    Initially the word "Nutztier" is marked:   Repeated forwards searches mark one after the other all the words containing "tier", including the word "transportieren":
    Nutztier   Transportieren
    Once "Untier" is marked any further forwards search results in the message »No further entry for this search term«.
