Abbreviationes provides a Main Dictionary which currently contains more 
than 35,000 entries-- more than twice as many as you will find in all 
the printed dictionaries together. With updates and enhancements 
released twice a year the Main Dictionary will continue to grow 
steadily. As many scholars are already adding to this corpus of 
abbreviations Abbreviationes will become an easily accessible standard 
reference work which also reflects the state of current scholarship.

Abbreviationes also surpasses all printed dictionaries in offering two 
keys to search for a word to match a given abbreviation and to search 
for an abbreviation to match a given word. There is also a Fuzzy Match 
option if no exact match can be found in the Main Dictionary. 
Abbreviationes uses fuzzy logic for finding the closest match--that is, 
the logic that underlies inexact or approximate reasoning. The fuzzy 
logic controller effectively manipulates imprecise information and will 
find a matching entry in most cases even if the input is incomplete or 
partly wrong. In addition to this, there are even more advanced search 
capabilities which allow you to refine your search in numerous ways.
