You can search dictionary entries with romaji, kana, or kanji keywords. There is also virtual keyboard (Kana Board, type CTRL-J) for entering hirakana and katagana if special input methods are not supported in your computer. Searching with kanji keywords is supported if you can enter them to the input field. Copy/paste from other applications works as well, or you can open a separate file and then select the search keyword(s) with mouse.
