It shows not only the current meanings of words, but also traces their development through time. Entries contain detailed etymological analysis and are illustrated by quotations from a wide range of English language sources from around the world. For more than a century, the Oxford English Dictionary has been the undisputed authority on the history and development of the English language.

Advanced Search options enable you to:
- search using Boolean operators, and across different fields, in a single search (e.g., how many words are illustrated by a citation from Jane Austen AND come from French OR German?)
- perform case-sensitive searches (e.g., find all references to BASIC the computer programming language, and not the adjective “basic”)
- search for accented and other special characters (e.g., non-Roman alphabets,such as Hebrew and Arabic, chemical and mathematical symbols, and Old English characters)
- find all words derived from a specified language with a single search (e.g., a search for “Sanskrit” in the new Language Names field will also look for abbreviated forms such as ‘Skr.’, ‘Skt.’, and ‘Sk.’)
- restrict a search to entries with a particular part of speech (e.g., everything from nouns and adjectives to conjunctions and interjections)
- search the OED’s pronunciations to find all the words containing a particular sound.
