Modernize "Filter by meaning" #230

Closed himselfv closed 10 years ago

Original report by me.

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 230

"Filter by meaning" is currently severely lacking:
- It cannot search case-insensitively (you have to match case)
- It sucks at searching by parts of expression - it can only match parts which start
with ", " visually (start of an entry in the DB) and end with " ".
- It's a mess internally due to the state of wakan.chr format.

Wakan.chr format has to be upgraded, and then various filter routines, including "Filter
by meaning", modernized:
- Initial case-sensitive/insensitive/partial string/integer matching code has to be
handled by Wakan.chr handling code.
- It should return a set of possible matches which may additionally be scrutinized
by KanjiFilter.

Other filters should benefit from this too

Fixed in @478bd6147f07. Was already case-insensitive, now also matches full words inside
one definition (e.g. "speech" in "part of speech").
