It also messes with dictionary lookup! It adds this nonsense if you select more than two Chinese characters, and so it makes it really hard to look up four-character Chinese idioms in my dictionary (which are, inexplicably, frequently missing from the built-in “lookup” dictionary).

Apple Books is so close to being a nice reading interface, but there are so many stupid little bugs. Highlighting is another horrid little bug that can easily wipe out a full chapter’s worth of highlights with one tap...

The entire Apple dictionary system is a PoS AFAICT. It only works with perfect spelling and it only works with single words. How about finding closest match and how about letting me select lots of text and go through all the words.

I can only guess no one on the team actual uses the feature.

As a language learner I use Rikaikun for Japanese on my desktop browser. While I'd really like it if I could also run a similar extension in my mobile browser I'd be okay of Apple's dictionary actually worked with a fuzzy search and multiple terms... but no....
