I haven't seen anything to enable the behaviour I'm describing in the settings, I hope I haven't overlooked something and I'm sorry in advance if I have.

Extension version: Yomitan Popup Dictionary 26.3.16.0
Platform: Linux (desktop PC)
Browser: Firefox
Language: en-US

When I use the search.html page to search a word, it seems like the query is done only on headwords(?). Allowing a full search on more fields (as an option I guess) would turn the search.html page in a full two-way dictionary.

For example:

If I look up 试图 it works, I think, as intended. However, based on these results, if I then search "attempt" the query returns nothing relevant since "attempt" is not a headword, so I can't use the cn->en dictionary as a valid en->cn dictionary. I would expect to get the 试图 entry again by searching "attempt".
