I just registered pleco dict for the iphone, and am comparing it with dian hua. I have downloaded the cc-cedict, but can't figure out how to order results by relevance. For instance, if I search for "acid", there are nearly 100 results, with items like "aminobenzoic acid", "amino acid", "saturated fatty acid", etc. showing up before plain old "acid". In dian hua, the first entry is a match on the full word "acid" rather than words that contain "acid", so the first result is "酸", but I can then look further down the list if necessary. How can I get pleco dict to order results so that full matches appear before matches that contain the input as a part of the word. Another example would be searching for "rain". I would expect the first result to be 雨, but the first entry is instead "rain on Mt Ba (idiom)", followed by "shower(rain)" and then "rainstorm" and "seek shelter from wind and rain(idiom)" with plain old "rain" or 雨 WAYYYY down on the list.
