 ====== Carcass Advanced Tutorial - Part 3 ======
+==== Expert Query Editor ====
+The most advanced query editor available in Carcass is the **Expert Query Editor** which allows you to use the full CQP syntax.
+To open the //Expert Query Editor// click on the tab marked by the green arrow in the picture below:
+{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:advanced:120_expert_query_editor.png?950&nolink }}
+\\
+The //Expert Query Editor// consists of a single text box where you can type your query directly using the CQP language. Type the following query and then click on ''Submit'':
+<file>
+[word="obsessive"] [pos="NN.*"];
+</file>
+{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:advanced:130_expert_query_1.png?950&nolink }}
+\\
+The query will take a few seconds to complete: it will appear in the query history as usual and the results will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
+Now you can browse the results or sort them just like you did with the results from the Simple and Smart query editors.
+The CQP language used by the //Expert Query Editor// is rather complex and is beyond the scope of this tutorial, for more information refer to the official [[http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/projekte/CorpusWorkbench/CQPTutorial/html/|CQP tutorial]].
+==== Query History ====
+You may have realised by now that the queries listed in the //Query History// are all expressed using the CQP language: if you use the //Simple// or the //Smart// query editors, Carcass automatically "translates" your queries into the CQP language.
+We've seen how you can recall the results of previous queries by clicking on them, but there is another interesting thing you can do:
+  * delete the content of the //Expert Query Editor// box, which should look like this
+\\
+{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:advanced:140_query_history_1.png?950&nolink }}
+\\
+  * in the //Query history//, click on the first query you submitted
+\\
+{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:advanced:150_query_history_2.png?950&nolink }}
+\\
+  * press **CTRL-C** (or **CMD-C** if you are using a Mac) on your keyboard, this will **copy** the query to the clipboard
+  * click in the empty text box in the //Expert Query Editor// and then press **CTRL-V** (or **CMD-V** if you are using a Mac) on your keyboard
+  * the CQP query will be **pasted** in the box
+\\
+{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:advanced:150_query_history_3.png?950&nolink }}
+\\
+This is particularly useful if you want to start composing a query in the //Smart Editor// and then modify it manually.
+==== Conclusion ====
