How to search for specific vocabulary words and example sentences?

Hello!

I have been trying to see if there is a way to search through the provided example sentences on Bunpro.

For example, if I wanted to see sentences using the word “昇進”, is this possible at this time? I tried a few search bars on different pages and nothing like that comes up.

Thank you!

I don’t think there’s a way to do that as of yet.

If you want another resource to look up Vocabulary & Sentences, here’s one : JPDB.io

For vocabulary and kanji in particular, I like to use Jisho.org or takoboto. They’re both pretty good at finding words and linking to example sentences, but the big thing for me is searching by radicals. Say I saw the kanji 炎 but couldn’t copy and paste or read it, then I could just go select the 火 radical and search for kanji with that in it. It helped me a lot when I was reading physical light novels and picture translate wouldn’t work lol.

Hey! Welcome to the forums :sunglasses:

We have plans to completely revamp the Search feature in the future, and this will very likely include searching for content directly within Example Sentences.

Sit tight, and hopefully we’ll have it out pretty soon
