> I'm having difficulties with a query in Corpus na Gàidhlig. When I search "ora[i,]n" it only retrieves "oran" instead of also retrieving "orain". Does anyone have any advice on this? Is this a bug?

I suspect we'll only be able to help you if you tell us which Web interface you used to run the query.  I suppose it is some CQPweb installation?

Your query 

	ora[i,]n

should work as a simple query (CEQL syntax) and find both words.  If it doesn't, there might be something wrong with corpus preprocessing or indexing – or the form simply doesn't exist in the corpus. Do you know it's actually there?

You could also try different variants of the query or search for both forms separately.

	[oran,orain]
	oran
	orain

Best,
Stephanie
