Searches in Epub Don't Work Properly

[brishtibheja]

In the ttu reader, sometimes searches don't work when both kana/kanji are present in a word. For example, in vol. 1 of「狼と香辛料」I found the word 「たたらを踏む」and when I searched it up I only got the JMdict entry which was also 「たたらを踏む」. However, when I searched for たたらをふむ I found entries from other JP-JP dictionaries which listed this word as 「蹈鞴を踏む」.

This issue exists in Yomichan/Yomitan as well.

If we look at the (legacy) dictionary entries, they share the same sequence 1891340.

[
   "たたらを踏む",
   "たたらをふむ",
   "exp v5m",
   "v5",
   -200,
   [
      "to stumble a step or two forward (when trying to stop)",
      "to pass one's destination and stumble a step or two forward",
      "to totter"
   ],
   1891340,
   ""
],
[
   "踏鞴を踏む",
   "たたらをふむ",
   "exp v5m",
   "v5",
   -10200,
   [
      "to stumble a step or two forward (when trying to stop)",
      "to pass one's destination and stumble a step or two forward",
      "to totter"
   ],
   1891340,
   ""
],
[
   "蹈鞴を踏む",
   "たたらをふむ",
   "exp v5m",
   "v5",
   -20200,
   [
      "to stumble a step or two forward (when trying to stop)",
      "to pass one's destination and stumble a step or two forward",
      "to totter"
   ],
   1891340,
   ""
]

It's definitely possible to show all entries with the same sequence, but something like かける (sequence 1207610) has ~50 entries.

I could see an additional reveal button to show the full list of words.

I wonder if anyone has brought this issue up with yomichan/yomitan.

[brishtibheja]

I reported it there: yomidevs/yomitan#1884

It's probably the most annoying issue for my immersion. Hopefully, someone finds an easy fix.

I know in certain dictionaries they show all the variants below the main entry.

たたらを踏む
~ 踏鞴を踏む | 蹈鞴を踏む

Depending on the db structure, re-indexing for the sequence field may be needed. Ultimately, it's up to the developer to decide how to present the information in the app.

Which dictionaries do that?
