When searching a word, the word list pages gives out quite many definitions for the word, then when you tap on the word hoping to see more info, there turns out actually less info than in the word list pages. See the attached screenshots with the word "couture".

Hi!
It's actually not a "detail" page, but it is a copy of https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/couture (the part on the French word), which is also linked at the end.
What you are seeing here is the effect of the dictionary also picking up information and examples from OTHER wiktionary pages (including possibly from different languages where showing the wiktionary page would not make much sense and confuse as the reader likely would not understand it), and searching for e.g. "haute couture" will give you a different page, and also information from the french-language pages which are often more extensive.
So the behaviour is quite expected and as designed, but admittedly not ideal.
Now what to do about it? Depends a bit on what you are looking for, and then what might be a reasonable way to implement it.
I could imagine adding a menu entry, so that when you press (or long-press?) "haute couture" you could be directed to the entry for that. Or the search term could be changed for that.
Some of the wiktionary pages where the examples come from might not be included though, so not sure what to do then.
Lastly, as for paper dictionaries, for advanced uses the French-only dictionary might be a good thing to install, it has much more advanced descriptions of the words usually, but is not useful for less advanced learners.
