Help me set up dicts to act like cantonese.org?

At cantonese.org (same place as cccanto.org) I can put one of hanzi, Jyutping or English in the search box and get out the other two; that's simple enough for me. CC-Canto (plus CC-CEDict with Jyutping readings?) is already good enough for me and I'm interested in the simplest possible setup.

I have CC-Canto and CC-CEDict now, with other dictionaries and groups turned off.

Could someone tell me how to configure these dictionaries to make Pleco act like cantonese.org?
Thank you very much.

Thanks.
Enter "aisle".

With CCY selected:
走廊位
JP zau2long4wai2
Under DICT tab,
aisle seat

With CC selected:
走廊
JP zau2long2
Under DICT tab,
1 corridor (that's it, just the English word)
2 aisle
...
(seven items total)

At the cccanto.org website I get "everything", as expected.

EDIT: I will put together a much better answer in a few minutes...

Go into the English tab in Manage Dictionary Groups in Settings, create a new dictionary group "full-text, Chinese dicts," and add just CC and CCY to that group. That should give you better English results. (you can also disable the regular English search groups if you don't want to search anything but CC+CCY)
