You don't know how to input the words into your dictionary. Why is that a problem if these dictionaries still have both Heb/Eng Eng/Heb search functions? Since the designers assume that you know Hebrew, their emphasis is on input of Hebrew words into the dictionary. Rather, all the dictionaries are made to serve Hebrew speakers who want to learn English. Why are most of the existing dictionaries not "smart enough"? Because manmade instruments are only as "smart" as their designers, and the designers of most of the Hebrew dictionaries don't think of you, the English speaking person. You use your dictionary because you don't know Hebrew well enough! What exactly is the problem? Although your frustration is valid, your dictionary is very likely to have the word that you can't find, but it is not "smart enough" to understand what you want. But this is exactly the point (and the catch). Why can't you find words? In most cases because you don't know Hebrew well enough. If you have experienced this with your dictionary, please read on.
