I think 太 barely counts as a word. I wouldn't be too surprised if the reason it's saying "not found" turns out not to be due to any error.
How come? Imo its a word alright. The kunyomi is 太る（ふとる）or 太い（ふとい）and the onyomi is たい、た. Even the word Sun has it inside: 太陽（たいよう）.- @strawhat64, But the question would seem to be about the word ふと, being spelled using kanji as 太 ? This may well not have been what was meant however, but my answer was intended to hint at why it wasn't found.
Those three words you posted, ふとる, ふとい, and 太陽 are obviously all very common words and are all already in the site's dictionary, so no problem there. Whether the word ふと is worth having in the dictionary, or if it truly counts as a "word", is a bit more debatable, I think. ^^ - Or it could also be that the page moderator was lazy at the time and left the page empty :P
I was wondering since in a manga called Nakomaki (ねこまき) they use
にやん太 as a name for a cat. When I looked up 太 on other websites, it said it meant something like fatty or one who is fat.- As I was hinting, the dictionary found on this site is just a normal dictionary (i.e. a dictionary for words only). Some sites have both a words dictionary and a kanji dictionary combined into one, such as Denshi Jisho, where you can select to search for either a "word" or a "kanji" (and also for "names" and "sentences"):

The kanji, 太, is taught in the kanji lessons on here in chapter 62 (level 7). I'm assuming you meant "Nekomaki" and that they called the cat にゃん太 or ニャン太 (which is probably "Nyanta"), rather than にやん太 ("Niyanta"?), where 太 likely uses the onyomi (sound reading) た for it's pronunciation in that name?
