Sim...I think Google may be overlooking the obvious. Simply having that link visible was extremely useful, without necessarily having to click it. If I Googled a word I wasn&#39;t sure of, just seeing the link told me it was spelled correctly (miss-spelled words gave no link), so there was no need to click it. Sometimes, of course, you need to actually look up a definition, or possible variants, but most of the time it was merely double-checking for a spelling error, which is passive and won&#39;t show on their statistics. I&#39;m not a follower of this blog, and have never been here before. I spotted that the Definition link was missing, and Googled &quot;Show Google Dictionary&quot; in an attempt to find a way to put it back. I hate sidebars that scrunch the screen, and will never make use of it, no matter what they add to it, but give me that Definition link back where it was and I&#39;ll be happy as a clam.CthulhuSaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16477315905760086993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-57791558581489555352010-06-02T15:39:58.068-07:002010-06-02T15:39:58.068-07:00:&#39;( I need my linkified search terms back.

Just double-click a word (or any shortcut key combo) and it pops up a small resizeable window. You can set the dictionary lookup site as well. I set it to The Free Dictionary (TFD). TFD returns a lot of info including synonyms, antonyms, similar words, audio pronunciation, a translation feature, and tons of linked words and examples. Definitely my favorite extension.<br /><br />Note to developer and Chrome extension group: <br />When searching Chrome extensions for the word &#39;Dictionary&#39;, DictionaryTip is several pages down. Not sure why exactly since most others ahead of it have lower ratings and fewer downloads. Maybe it&#39;s due to the name being DictionaryTip, instead of Dictionary Tip? I don&#39;t know, but it deserves to be much higher up the list.quenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-18064273236685385942010-05-10T09:45:23.586-07:002010-05-10T09:45:23.586-07:00Why not keep &#39;[definition]&#39; link from the ...Why not keep &#39;[definition]&#39; link from the old design, and have it target the query for &#39;define:[keyword]&#39;?Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300095452993948844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-89930325408838816562010-05-10T07:42:44.971-07:002010-05-10T07:42:44.971-07:00&quot;Next time you type &#39;dict moist&#39; in t...&quot;Next time you type &#39;dict moist&#39; in the address bar,...&quot;<br /><br />Interesting choice for an example you chose there.

The extension is configurable to allow different actions to look up a word. It can be configured to display a small popup on double-click or Ctrl+double-click. Alternatively you can highlight the word and then click the icon in the url bar to display an extended definition with links to other definitions.<br /><br />This is by far one of the best extensions I&#39;ve used. It&#39;s unobtrusive, powerful, and extremely useful.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06722696618331347451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-30707461637073288342010-05-09T04:54:10.817-07:002010-05-09T04:54:10.817-07:00Am I the only one who liked the dictionary link, e...Am I the only one who liked the dictionary link, even through all of its travels? I thought it was wrong to go to Answers.com, because there was too much information, but I got used to it. I thought it was wrong to go to Google&#39;s dictionary, because there wasn&#39;t enough information, but I was getting used to it. Now, I think it&#39;s wrong to remove it altogether. And I&#39;ve got to get used to it. (Aside: the &quot;define:&quot; option has never been very useful for me.)Sean Leatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951502639017426632noreply@blogger.com
