Printed dictionaries follow a fixed alphabetic listing order but why isn't electronic dictionary data as malleable as Excel or Access data? With Pleco, I can type in @国 and generate a list of countries using that structure but it excludes the many that don't such as Canada, Australia, etc. What I'd like to see in a future release is the ability to search for a category listing such as 'countries', 'jobs', 'colors', 'businesses', 'verbs of motion', 'modal verbs' or words that are both 'verbs+nouns' which can be further modified by a 'sub-' or 'super-cagtegory' selection. Another useful feature would be the ability to restrict the entries displayed through a 'word frequency' number so only the most common words are displayed.
I suspect this may be a tall order in terms of memory requirements to store all the additional tag information. As far as tagging vocabulary by categories, download Stephen Glasier 's dictionary 'WordMenu' for free and give it a try: WordMenu.com. If anyone's seen a Chinese version of this, I'd love to hear from you.
