Wow, thanks !! This is exactly what I was looking for ^^. Actually I
also looked into my electronic dictionnary which has a kanji dictionnary
and to some extent has some search capability with those methods, but
the characters weren't there (or I couldn't find them..).

Now I'll be sure to bookmark those links for when I need them some day
^^.
