Examples? It works as expected for me (it only works for the main file -
usually "glossdic", and doesn't work for hiragana-only matches, although
I could fix that.)

No. It works on the whole document. I just dump out the text to the
display and flush out accumulated glosses at sentence end, or when the
char/line limit is reached.
