This website offers search functions inside the site. After inputting a keyword in the Search Form at the top of the page, press the Search button. This will search the entire site for matches for your keyword.
This website uses Customized Search offered by Google. With this option, various search methods available with Google can be used. The basic features are described below.
AND-search
By designating several keywords separated by a space, only pages containing all the keywords are searched. A search can be narrowed down by increasing the number of keywords. However, the search may not turn up any matches when too many keywords are used.
Distinction between upper- and lower-case characters
Upper- and lower-case characters are not differentiated between when searching in the website. Both characters are recognized as lower-case characters. For example, KYORIN and kyorin will yield the same search results.
Variation in katakana indications
In general, terms indicated in katakana in several ways are searched at the same time. Inputting "daiamondo" for example will turn up pages containing the terms "daiamondo" or "daiyamondo."
When searching only for an input keyword and no other indications use the plus "+" sign. Make sure to insert a space before "+." Inputting "+diamondo" for example, will only find pages containing the term daiamondo.
