Something wrong with Jukuu?

[Lu]

Or is it just me? The last few days, when I searched a word, it returns ' 抱歉，没找到与"XXX"相关的句子'. It's not that the words I search are too obscure, I tried some really common ones. Do others have this issue too? Does anyone know what's going wrong and what I can do to fix it?

I have never used Jukuu before but to see if it was just you I put in 很 and it did say sorry can't find match etc but on the right side of the page it displayed some results.

 

Not having used it before I am not sure what to expect but here is a link to what I got http://www.jukuu.com/search.php?q=%E5%BE%88

 

Hope this is of some help.

Yes, when I click your link I see the same kind of thing I see when I run my own search. The explanation on the right still appears (but is pretty useless, there are better dictionaries for that).

[Shelley]

So should there have been more/better info when it was working properly?

I never used jukuu either, but this seems to be a screen capture done when it worked properly:

 

 

From Sinosplice.

Noticed it hasn't been working for a few days. Shame, because I use it a lot and mdbg.net example sentences are drawn from there.

Yeah it does seem to be broken. This is a good alternative: http://dict.youdao.com/ You can search for example sentences if you prefix your search with "lj:". They also have a mobile app.

Shelley, it's supposed to return a whole list of example sentences (English translated to Chinese, but still useful), as Geiko's screenshot shows.

Eddy, thanks, I suppose I'll have to make do with Youdao then. Now that Jukuu broke I realise just how much I relied on it.

[Lu]

It seems to be working again!

Good, looks like a useful tool, I have bookmarked it for future use.
