The problem above is exacerbated by not having a syllable boundary symbol on the phonetic keyboard (see Figure 5). As a consequence, syllable onset and offset strings cannot be searched for directly, a rather disappointing lack in a pronouncing electronic dictionary. While stress marks are assumed in Sound Search queries, (i.e. strings entered 'stress-lessly' will match stress-full ones), the opposite is not true. Thus, /'si:k/ or /'aʊtˌsaɪd/ will return a "Sorry, no results match your search" message.
