I've been trying to find a decent online Japanese<->Japanese dictionary.

By far, the two that come most recommended are Sanseido ( 
http://www.sanseido.net/ ) and Goo ( http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/ ).

The thing is, they aren't very complete.

For example, I recently looked up the word 補佐官. Neither dictionary 
had an entry for it.

alc[1] is not an JJ dictionary but it come with lots of EJ examples
so you can pick the right word for your translation.

Unlike sanseido and goo, you don't get a definition in J but for a gaijin like us,
do we *REALLY* need it if we have no idea on what context it should be used?
