Is there any good way to lookup kanji?
The searching of kanjidic2 will be greatly improved in future versions, but for now I suggest you go to the Edit Menu and explore the wonders of the “Special Characters…” menu item. Change “View” to Japanese and select the “by Radical” tab. Now you can browse all kanji by radical and stroke count. To add a kanji from the Character Palette to your Tensai search, make sure the search field is active in Tensai and the character of interest is selected, then click the “Insert” button. Kind of an out of the way method to lookup characters, but it beats most kanji lookup programs.
