Hi, failing to find the sentence #188179 whatever the word inside it I search for makes me wonder if there's some problems with the indexing for Japanese.

Whether I search for "議事" "送付" "内容" or 仮, it never appears.

I think it has something to do with the fact that this sentence is an "orphan". (It's unowned). The normal search seems to ignore orphans. You have to use the Advanced Search and set the checkbox "Is orphan" to "Any".

Oh, thanks for the answer. It's a sentence from the tanaka corpus, are they the only sentences that will be orphan or can sentences added later become orphan too ?

I went on to adopt it, and now I realize I gone too fast, while the English and the Japanese don't seem erroneous by themselves, the link with it's English translation does need a native speaker review in fact.
I'm unsure agenda is a correct translation for 議事内容, it seems agenda would rather be 議事日程.
Also, while I think they are context where that sentence can be used to mean "Attached is", literally it's "I have sent".

Even sentences added in this very moment can become ophans. Anyone at any moment can decide to let go the ownership of sentences at any moment, even recent contributions, so they'll become orphans.

Note that we ask members to only adopt orphan sentences in their own native languages, so if Japanese or English is not your native language, then you shouldn't adopt sentences from the Tanaka Corpus.

Pikaoppaassa lukee:

> If you are 100% sure that it is correct and sounds natural, you can adopt an orphan sentence...

Se ei vaadi tai ehdota, että käyttäjän äidinkieli vastaisi lauseen äidinkieltä.
