I gotta say Im using this site pretty much every day since I started learning japanese and its really helpful. Thank you for maintaining it, implenting new features and improving it all the time!

Although I have a bit of criticism as to make this site a bit better:
My normal precedure is: search for romaji (jp) or english word. Look at the definitions, look up the kanjis possible definitions and then look up the next word or close the tab.
I rarely click on the kanji itself but I always have to click to the "words" button at the top.
Its pretty annoying because Im looking up many words and then check the single kanji definitions, then search for something else and instantly get to the kanji page without being able to check possible vocabulary (with the kanji).
I hope you get what I mean: from the word search you can check kanji definitions but not the other way around. When you are on the kanji page you may only search for other kanji pages.
Maybe its only me and many other people are using the kanji search but then please sent us to the kanji search page (where you can swap tabs with definition) and not directly to the kanji page.

Also I would love to see an improvement of the search engine. When I want to lookup any japanese word I just heared (in romaji), most of the times I need some trys until I finally find it. That is because "j" and "y" has the same sound but you have to try which one is correct and the breaks (っ) with double consonants also have to be perfect to find something. The long "o" (ou) can also be a reason I cant find a word.
I know you have to write it perfectly or the beginning of the word at least to find it but adding these exceptions would improve it a lot in my opinion.
Also if you search with a kanji for words with that kanji I would really like to see words in which the kanji is at the second (or third) position.

Anyways, thank you for reading if you got this far and sorry for my english if I made mistakes - Im not a native speaker.
Keep up the good work guys!

fr3nd I think you are referring to the fact that when you search a specific kanji in the kanji search, if there is only one result, it will redirect you automatically to the kanji detail page.

Yes thats correct. I found it a bit weird that you have 2 different searches if you will and with only one kanji result you get to that kanji page instantly. I would really appreciate an option to turn that off.
Maybe its just me because I dont type in japanese at all but personally I would prefere if you would always land on the definitions/words page and you just have one search function.

That reminds me that I once suggested via the feedback form that if you are on the second page of words and you click on "kanji" at the top youre being directed to the second page of kanji aswell and Im not sure if it is intentional as you dont have a second page oftentimes. Its just a minor thing but maybe you can fix it in the future.

And with the search improvements I didnt mean "non exact" search but exceptions to those typical mistakes one may make finding a word while searching with romanji that I mentioned (tsu, ou and y/j). Maybe thats possible without showing too much results?

Thanks a lot for implementing the option to turn off redirects from search!
Just one thing that I would like to mention: you still get redirected if your search doesnt yield more then 1 result. Im not sure if its possible but I would really like if that option could turn that off aswell.

Theres one other thing that I feel like it is a bug but I didnt want to open a seperated post for it. Im using the dark mode for the site and every time I click on anything the site gets loaded quick but there a split second where the site is flashing white before the next page opens. That happens everywhere except for the forum.
I dont know if its just me or if it is related to the site but currently I cant really use it as I get a headache after a few clicks by these flashes. I was hoping you could investigate that. I didnt really change anything on my setup so I suspect its a bug of some sort.

I am learning both Japanese and Chinese and there are a few things in the Chinese dictionary I use that I would really love to have here:

1) One of the hardest things when learning Japanese is figuring where one word ends and the next word begins, so it would really help if we could look up a group of words. So for example, if I searched りんごを食べています, instead of getting a "not found" message, I would get entries for each word in the same order they appeared in the sentence:
りんご
を
食べる
いる
You can see how this looks by searching 我喜欢苹果 (I like apples) in this Chinese dictionary: https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary

2) Another feature I really love using on that Chinese dictionary is the text analyser. You can try it if you go on the link I posted above and click on "Look up All Chinese Words in a Text", then on "Inline / popup annotation", then on "Show only Chinese inline - details in popup". When you copy and paste a text there (you can try it with: 我喜欢苹果), you can then practice reading and just move your mouse over any word to quickly check the pronunciation and meaning (and if we could also see the meaning of the kanji it would be even better). You can also click on any word to open the entry in a new tab for more information.

3) It would also be very practical if we could copy and paste from the search results. I like adding new words to a vocabulary file that I use to memorize them, but it takes more time if I have to click on the search results before being able to copy the translations. Also, it would be nice to see the meaning of the kanji directly in the search results, either on the right side of the entry or by moving the mouse over the kanji.

4) When the dictionary finds no results, it would be helpful if it could suggest words that sound similar. To avoid affecting the quality of the results, you could just add a line of suggestions at the bottom, under the actual search results. Something like, "Did you mean: SUGGESTION 1, SUGGESTION 2, SUGGESTION 3, etc."
And you could show suggestions as we type in the search bar, like Google does.
