J-J Online Dictionaries with Wildcards - Sauzer - 2013-06-01
I searched the archives a bit to no avail, so apologies if this has been covered before.
I sort of love browsing the dictionary pointlessly, running into fun or interesting words. The absolute best feature on jisho.org is the wildcard search - I love sticking a kanji between two * and seeing everything EDICT has it in. HOWEVER, as we all know, EDICT is far from comprehensive. I am familiar and comfortable with the J-J dictionaries on yahoo, goo and alc, but (as far as I can tell...) they do not allow wildcard searches.
Am I just missing this feature on one of those dictionaries? It's very possible, because I have not read their documentation. Or is there possibly a J-J dictionary that allows this? I would be fine with J-E too, but to my knowledge the vast majority of the ones on the web are just frontends for EDICT so there probably wouldn't be much point there.

so you select the bold thing out of all the choices when you looked it up.
sanseido shows you the results more than the yahoo dic so i would reocmmend sanseido for this but the definitions aren't as thorough or you could think of it as more concise.

Ahh, beautiful, thank you!
e: Sanseido is indeed very easy for this. I'd never used it before.
