I was working on a kanji crossword puzzle when I came across this question:
I tried looking up “children’s story” in the dictionary and nothing came up.
I also tried looking up “fairytale” (both words together) and didn’t find what I was looking for.
It was only when I searched for “fairy tale” (both words separated) that I got the result I wanted, with the exact definition as in the crossword clue.
I’m wondering why “children’s story” or “fairytale” (both words together) doesn’t come up with that result.
I’d say that’s a bug in the search algorithm. It appears to be trying partial matches before exact matches; however, it could be that the exact match is failing for some reason and the partial matches are the fallback. It seems like the search and retrieval system renshuu uses is optimized for partial matches and isn’t very good at exact matches.
