Re: [edict-jmdict] WWWJDIC cannot google or add entry for term which is a substring match

[René Malenfant <rene_malenfant@***********>]

Slight error in the new system.  It only appears to look at the longest headword.  

For instance:
-Search for 砂糖漬.
-This hit appears: 砂糖漬け; 砂糖漬 【さとうづけ】 (n) preserving in sugar; food preserved in sugar
-Although 砂糖漬 appears as the second headword, because 砂糖漬 is only a partial match for 砂糖漬け, you also get this message:
Partial match - original key: 砂糖漬 [G][S][A][JW] Propose a new entry for 砂糖漬, or search all dictionaries
