maybe you should check out my method for learning, memorizing and searching characters…
watch the video and let me know what you think.
I also have a blog at sunrisemethod.wordpress.com
In my opinion you should learn and search characters from ones you already know.
How? search for your known character via stroke, sound, or meaning. then add, delete or swap parts to get the character you want.
Use spatial matches to also search for the character.
For example, hao3 good is a two-part Left-right character. first input this data, then you can add info you know about the left or right side….either sound, meaning or stroke…so for the left side you can input “nv3″ “female” or 3 strokes. for the right it’s “son” “zi3″ or 3 strokes.
hope this helps.
Any character can be broken up into simpler parts, and any character can add parts to make it more complex.
