Search Feature suggestions

[AntoineB]

Hi Mike

I've read the help section on search but feel there's features missing :

- search for non-consecutive words, eg : 默认 has "give tacit consent" in its definition, but searching for "give consent" returns no result..

- search throughout words+tags would be incredibly useful, eg: searching for an [idiom] containing the word "teacher"

Hope that helps!

I've been using Pleco daily for the past 8 years.. every day ! best piece of software on my phone.
I recommend it to all the 老外 asking me 我怎么学中文。
谢谢Mike老师！

Both in the works, though tag search honestly doesn't work that well because the tagging tends to be inconsistent / unreliable in basically every Chinese dictionary we know of.

Yeah, something like: ???? age

I'm currently using idioms for variables when coding in python, but I always have trouble choosing relevant idioms.
