Problem when using freq and +s switch on %mor tier

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Cynthia,
     If you want to search on the %mor tier, you need a more complicated +s switch.  Using just +show or +s"how" works fine for the main tier, where the word "how" appears by itself with no additional morphological markup.  However, on the %mor tier, "how" appears as adv:wh|how.  So, then you could have a search string such as +s"*|how" or even +s"adv:wh|how".   If you have a list of words and if you are committed to using the %mor tier, then you would need to create a fancier include file for your +s at myword.cut <mailto:s at myword.cut> switch.

For even fancier searches on the %mor line, please take a look at all the examples in the CLAN manual under the FREQ command.

I'm interested in the %mor tier, however, whenever I use the command I get 0 occurrences, which is clearly wrong. To make sure the problem wasn't in my .cha files, I used Adler example files but still got 0 occurrences.
