JMdictDB search page PoS groups

[Stuart McGraw]

Request for suggestions...

If you have used the JMdictDB Advanced Search (https://www.edrdg.org/jmwsgi/srchform.py) web page to search for entries based on their part-of-speech (PoS) tags you may, like me, have found it frustrating to sometimes have to click a dozen or so checkboxes.

The Frequency-of-Use checkboxes have a "P" checkbox that selects (or deselects) a subset of the others. I would like to do something similar for the PoS checkboxes. For example a "v" checkbox that will select all verb checkboxes, a "v5" checkbox that will select the "v5b","v5g",... checkboxes, "adj" that will select a commonly used subset of the "adj-*" checkboxes, etc.

My question is, what PoS checkboxes would you find most useful to select (or deselect) together as a group?

I don't actually do much (if any) searching by POS. I guess having
"all-verbs" and "all-adjectives" might be useful.

For me, the most useful search options are the Contains/Ends ones in
the entry, and the Contains in the Sense Notes/Comments/Refs.

I occasionally want to search for combinations of Japanese and English
within entries, but then I open up the EDICT version in an editor and
use regular expressions for searching.
