Looks like word search operates only in Finnish and some in Swedish.So you need to do searches with those languages.

Few words to search:
Panssarivaunu -> Tank
Panssarintorjunta -> Anti tank
Miina -> Mine
Saksalaiset -> Germans
Sukellusvene -> Submarine
Panssarikauhu -> Panzerschreck
Panssarinyrkki -> Panzerfaust
Pommi -> Bomb

Junkers,Messerscmitt,Madsen,Breda
and other machine names work also.

AND,OR,NOT works also between words for multiple word searches

Send me a message,if you want to know some specific finnish word to do search.
