Is there anyone who knows of online dictionaries for Chinese, Japanese,
Korean, Indonesian, Thai, or Hindic languages which allows one to perform
so-called "wild card" searches?  For Chinese and Japanese, this would mean
finding all compounds which contain the specified character, regardless of
that character's position within the compound.  For Indonesian, it might
be the ability to search for all words which contain a specified fragment,
or even letter, again irrelevant of that fragment or letter's place within
the word.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
