I have a feeling this has been brought up before, possibly even by me.

I think that if there is no exact match in Edict and there are exact
matches in other dictionaries it might be nice to have them displayed
first.  There would have to be a clear distinction between the two
sets of results, though.

Certain dictionaries may be best excluded (compdic - already included,
j-french, j-russian, jsvedic, jhungdic, jspanish - only useful if you
speak the right language, revhenkan - doesn't have any glosses)

I can't say I'm really that keen on the idea, but I have no objections
either.
