We've heard your request, and a master index with search functionality is added to the app, which can be accessed via the "Index" button on the main page. There are more characters in the index than those featured on the front page. Not all characters have the full set of pronunciation, formation history, and writing as the featured ones have, but you can use them for a quick look up for meanings.
