That sounds like a very good idea. I will add a search button to the
dictionary.

It's for searching through the dictionary by symbol instead of roman
letters.

But then if someone latter, imported a signpuddle, it would load all the
signs each time they opened the dictionary. The feature would turn into
a nuisance. Maybe another button called show all would be a better
idea. What do you think?

For some reason the restore button is showing such a small window when
it isn't full screen. But that's not the way is it supposed to be.
Yes they will both be able to be open side by side.
