| When using CQL, each element of the query has to be enclosed in square brackets []. The type of search we intend to conduct is specified by the attribute; to search for lemmas, type //lemma=//, for tags, type //tag=//, etc. In this case, you are looking for specific word forms, so //word=// should be used. The specific search items (words, lemmas, tags etc.) must be inserted into quotation marks "". For example, to search for the word //public//, type: | When using CQL, each element of the query has to be enclosed in square brackets []. The type of search we intend to conduct is specified by the attribute; to search for lemmas, type ''lemma='', for tags, type ''tag='', etc. In this case, you are looking for specific word forms, so ''word='' should be used. The specific search items (words, lemmas, tags etc.) must be inserted into quotation marks ''""''. For example, to search for the word //public//, type: |
| |
| ''[word="public"]'' | ''[word="public"]'' |

| Searching for all of the three forms mentioned above simultaneously requires the use of the pipe symbol | which functions as an OR operator: | Searching for all of the three forms mentioned above simultaneously requires the use of the pipe symbol ''|'' which functions as an OR operator: |

| You need to keep in mind that CQL is case-sensitive, therefore, to find all occurrences of these words regardless of capitalization, it is necessary to add the forms with capital letters. For this operation, insert another set of square brackets into the value in quotation marks; the items within the square brackets form a set from which one item is selected: | You need to keep in mind that CQL is case-sensitive, therefore, to find all occurrences of these words regardless of capitalization, it is necessary to add the forms with capital letters.

| All the forms end with final //s// and according to the OED, it is always preceded by //e//. However, to make sure we search for all the possible variants occurring in the OBC, we may want to use some regular expressions (more on this in [[en:obc:spell2|Lesson 3]]) to mark the possibility of other characters appearing. The plural ending might have been spelt in various ways, so it is recommended to employ the sequence [[https://wiki.korpus.cz/doku.php/en:pojmy:regularni_vyrazy|.*]] (see [[en:obc:spell3|Lesson 4]]) which represents any sequence of characters (or none). The final query should then look like this: | All the forms end with final //s// and according to the OED, it is always preceded by //e//.
