 +==== Using multiple constraints ====
 +
 +It is also possible to use multiple constraints on a single position. If we wanted to look for verbs starting with "under" followed by an optional determiner and then a noun, we could compose a query like this:
 +
 +  * click on ''Clear form''
 +  * Position 1: in the //Word// box type ''under.*'' (note the ''dot'' before the asterisk), in the "Part of speech" drop-down menu select ''Verb''
 +  * Position 2: in the "Part of speech" drop-down menu select ''Determiner'', tick the ''Position is optional'' checkbox
 +  * Position 3: in the "Part of speech" drop-down menu select ''Noun''
 +  * click on ''Submit''
 +
 +\\
 +
 +{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:advanced:115_smart_query_5.png?950&nolink }}
 +
 +\\
 +
 +The query will return concordances such as "undertaken change" and "understand the complexities". You should note that the syntax we used here for the asterisk is different from the one we used in the first example of the tutorial: here we used ''.*'' instead of a simple asterisk to represent any sequence of characters. This inconsistency will probably be resolved in future versions of the software.
