Is there a dictionary that includes word collocations (词语搭配)? Is there a decent dictionary that includes word collocations (词语搭配), or words that the searched word cannot be used with?
I use Pleco, but one of my largest complaints with it is that there's really no baseline for how the words are used, other than the few example sentences that are provided. With Pleco, there is no good way to determine when to use 维持、维护、保持、持续、etc, or any of the subtle differences between 实习、实践、进行、实行, etc.
http://xh.5156edu.com/ provides the possibility to search for a single character and then getting the most common words with it.
