Search Window
The Search Window is the following portion of the window:


This is where the majority of JLookUp's input comes from. If you want to search for a word, just type it/paste it/whatever into the white text area.

When you move your mouse over the text area, it immediately receives keyboard focus and highlights the text.

To search, simply press Enter. If you want to insert a line-break instead, press Shift+Enter.

I recommend using the IME (capslock).


To search for English text, type 'EN:' before the text (without the quotes) and press Enter.

NOTE: You cannot search when either 1) another search is going on, or 2) a dictionary is being loaded. Press Escape to cancel the current search.

When searching for Japanese text, you can use these wildcards:
_ (underscore): same as the conventional '*' wildcard; it fills in any- and every-thing to match.
? (question mark): same as the conventional '?' wildcard; it represents one character.
