Thanks! For the second piece of feedback, I actually already do this for a few characters, like ム. ル is another good candidate. I am not sure if ウ is a bit of a stretch... Note this is also done for radicals with obvious correspondences, like 心草水獣, so you can search 水木 for 淋. For the first piece of feedback, I have had other people request that, but I am not sure how to balance it with having detailed kanji pages. One thing to note is that while it is less convenient, on the detailed kanji page there is a link to "search this kanji" - I use that when I know a character that contains the part I want, but can't remember the name of the part itself.

ウ is not really a stretch. It's called ウ冠 after all. BTW, this kind of search is common in 電子辞書. Mine is almost 20 years old and has a 部品読み search.

  Ah, right you are - I didn't realize. I'll have to add that. I had heard of 電子辞書 having this feature, but I've never actually used one. Glad to see that 部品 was the right word, I had been kind of uncertain about that and gotten feedback about it. https://jp.sharp/sc/eihon/pa660/text/kangi.html https://jp.sharp/sc/eihon/pa660/text/kangi.html

> not sure if ウ is a bit of a stretch They don't look identical, but the radical is often referred to that way, e.g. when describing a kanji over the phone. Also same thing with ワ and 冖.

  Thanks, I'll stick those in!
