I already posted this before, but it was in "bug reports" and may have been overlooked as a feature request.
I'd like the dictionary search to be slightly more flexible. Right now it's great, but sometimes you can't find what you're looking for, especially when searching for multiple word entries in English.
(PS, I did rebuild my index as suggested, and that fixed some problems, but these problems persist...)
Example:
Say I want to look up "same day"
The target word is 同日 [どうじつ] the same day
However, when I type in the search box
"same day," there are no words found.
I have to type in exactly
"the same day." Then I get two search results:
同日 [どうじつ] the same day
ダブる [ダブる] to coincide (fall on the same day); to have two of something; to repeat a school year after failing
Note that in neither of these cases is this entry found:
その日 [そのひ] that day; the very same day
In order to find that, I have to type in exactly
"the very same day."It seems to me that when I type in "same day" I should get all three results:
同日 [どうじつ] the same day
ダブる [ダブる] to coincide (fall on the same day); to have two of something; to repeat a school year after failing
その日 [そのひ] that day; the very same day
I'm sure there's plenty of other definitions containing the words "same day" that I'm missing out on because I didn't type in the definition exactly as it's listed.
In the same vein, I should be able to type in "day same" and get the same results. In other words, each word in the search box should be treated individually, and the dictionary should search for entries containing all of the individual words.
In this way it will function like a search engine on the internet.
I hope this suggestion is easy to implement. I use Stackz as my primary dictionary for my Japanese studies!!!
