A couple of postings recently gave Perseus URL (1) or (2) for accessing
Perseus.

Doug, I apologize for not replying for a few days. Perhaps these belated
notes will be helpful. (B-greekers who cannot currently access the Perseus
URL may safely ignore this message.)
---> What follows are a few notes on my experiences (successful and not so
successful) in trying to look up Greek words using the Perseus WEB site.
URL (2) above will bring you to a page where you may select GREEK LEXICA
(see URL (3) below)
or GREEK MORPHOLOGY (4)
or English-Greek (5).
I HAVE PERSONALLY HAD MUCH BETTER SUCCESS WITH 4 & 5; the reason seems to
be that I can type Latin transliteration of Greek much better than I can
type "Beta-CODE" (For example: "adolescheo" or "a)dolesxe/w"). I can also
spell words fairly well in English. I found that (3) below requires entry
of words in Beta-Code; almost invariably I have been able to get URL (3) to
understand what Greek word I am trying to ask about. But with (4)
Morphological search, I have almost always been successful, as this input
screen seems to understand what I'm trying to ask. (and will even generate
the beta-code after reading in my Latin transliteration). And it brings me
to a screen where I can easily look up L&S entries. With (5)
English-Greek, I have also had good success.
I would be interested in hearing experiences, comments, or tips from others
who have been using Perseus word-search/study tools (perhaps off-line).
Thanks.

p.s.here is part of the L&S (big) entry for adolescheo II. generally, talk,
LXXPs.68(69).12. III. meditate, IB2=LXX Ge.24.63, ti=LXX Ps.118(119).15,
al.
(with references from the LXX Psalms)
(The above discussion is about just getting started in a word study; once
you have looked up the L&S entry, you can go from there to look up its
context in dozens or hundreds of occurrences in the Perseus database of
texts.)
Best wishes.
