There are options that let you narrow down the part of speech you want, but it does take a little practice to understand how to the program understands search inquiries. You have to format your description like a definition you would read in a book.
i.e. "can't remember a word" will give you a lot of answers that aren't quite right, but "The inability to remember a word" ticks the right boxes for the search function.
