<upd_detl>This is coming back to what should be in a dictionary because the tool being used is called a "dictionary".

You have:-

だれも 《誰も》 (conj) (1) (uk) everyone; anyone; (2) no-one (with neg. verb)

and

より (adv,prt) (1) from; out of; since; at; (2) than; (3) other than; except; but; (4) more; (P)

The problem is that one does not know from your site that one should put "より" between "だれ" and "も" in order to make correct usage.

One could say, "Go and look elsewhere because this is only a dictionary," but one does not do that with "だれも" and yet in logic one should only have "だれ" and "も" as separate entries because "も" is simply the suffix which can be appied to a range of question words.

As stated before, there is a limit, but in the most customary situations the range is relatively few and one can lead one's way to the point of enough is enough. However, when most searchers have picked up the customary situations, they themseleves can apply common sense to the remainder.</upd_detl>
