Not sure whether this is the same case, but if you look at the sentences lesson packs, some of them are actually a whole story in a paragraph, passage, or an article. When a sentence is taken away from the source and displayed independently as an example, these multi-sentence contextual translations makes much less sense individually.
Unfortunately, it seems to be a limitation that is not so simple to deal with, given the system design. I see a few of these out-of-context sentence translations around a bit. I hesitate to feedback suggestions to fix too, since it is not clear cut on right and wrong under dual use case.
Yea, it's really a tricky situation anytime you have solo sentences. I often take suggestions on these sentences to include both "natural" and "literal" translations, so you are always free to make suggestions.
Most of them, though, are not coming from renshuu made materials, but form the original sentence pack. We've made thousands upon thousands of changes to improve these sentences, but there are always additional improvements that can (and are) be made.
I will say that once our grammar markup system is done, it'll be much easier to get higher quality sentences into the search results, so I'm very excited for that.
I think it's because that particular definition was taken from an in context citation. There is the option to search for other definitions in instances such as this.
'Search me' is a idiom that means 'I'm not sure', 'I don't know' or 'how should I know' depending upon the context in which it is used, in much the same way as 'beats me' does.

Maybe you could think of it like how we express in english, "i don't know", when we want the other person to give us an answer (like "go ahead give me an answer")
"Student, do you know the answer to this exam question?" "I don't know..." "Well, since you don't have an answer, I'll be the one that gives the answer!" - then the teacher continues to give a long explanation
So, I guess it does mean "go ahead" or "come on" or "i don't know...but you can volunteer to help me know, because it's not like i'm objecting"
