-After successfully completing the [[https://www.korpus.cz/toolbar/signup.php|online registration]] and logging into KonText, we can begin with our very first query in the EEBO corpus. First of all, we need to select the corpus we intend to work with. The default corpus of KonText is the //syn2015// corpus. By clicking on the icon //syn2015//, a menu appears with all of the available corpora. If we have worked with KonText before, we might also see the list of //my favorite corpora// located on the left side of the menu. The list of //featured corpora// is located on the right side. If the EEBO corpus is not included in either of the lists,  we click on the icon //all corpora// and a search box will appear where we can type in a part of the name or description of the corpus we plan to work with. We type in "EEBO" and select the corpus in the dropdown menu. By clicking on the star next to the icon with the selected corpus, we can add the EEBO corpus to the list of  our favorite corpora. Next time we work with KonText, the EEBO corpus will be included in the list of //my favorite corpora//. Now we can type the query in the **Query** box.+After successfully completing the [[https://www.korpus.cz/toolbar/signup.php|online registration]] and logging into [[en:manualy:kontext:index|KonText]], we can begin with our very first query in the EEBO corpus.

-Basic query is ideal for elementary searches which do not require a very high degree of accuracy (in many respects this query type is equivalent to the basic search engines such as //google//). In the case of a dictionary form (lemma), all of its possible forms are  searched for, such as //slept//, //sleeping// and //sleeps// for the lemma //sleep//. As the EEBO corpus is not lemmatized, this option is not possible. Therefore, only those forms appear in the results that absolutely match the query.+Basic query is ideal for elementary searches which do not require a very high degree of accuracy (in many respects this query type is equivalent to the basic search engines such as //google//).
