. The screen will be updated to show only vocab items that meet all of your criteria. The following search options are available: - The Search term menu allows you to enter all or part of the word or phrase you want to find. You can search for learning language terms or their known language meanings. Searches are not case-sensitive, but are sensitive to diacritics, accent marks, and other special characters in languages that use them. If necessary, you can tap
to display the virtual keyboard to help you type any special characters used in the word or phrase. - The Search in menu allows you to indicate the language of your search term. By default, this menu will be set to Both Languages, which will search both the known language and the learning language. If you want to narrow the search to a single language, choose the name of the known language or the learning language instead. If you choose one of these settings, be sure that the search term you have typed is in the correct language.
- The Status menu allows you to search for learned vocab items based on whether they are fresh or stale. By default, this menu will be set to Any, which will find vocab items with any status. To limit the search results to a particular status, you can choose Fresh or Stale instead. You can use these options along with a search term to find only instances of that term with the selected status, or you can run a search without a search term to find all learned vocab items with the selected status.
- When you are ready to clear your search results, tap
beside the Search field. - When you have found the vocab items you want to practice, mark the checkboxes beside them. To select all the learned vocab items on the screen at once, mark the checkbox in the top heading. {{/phone}} {{#phone}}

This option will only be available if you have selected enough appropriate content to run the activity.
Note: The automatic filters for each activity will hide any vocab items that do not meet the activity requirements. For example, vocab items that do not have learning language sound will not be available to select for Dictation, Listening Multiple Choice, Listening Recognition, or Pronunciation Practice. Only vocab items with such sound will be shown when any of those activities are selected. Similarly, only phrases with three or more words in the learning language will be shown for Unscramble and all of the Fill in the Blank activities.
