I was surprised today when this dictionary had no definition for coruscating which shows in other dictionaries, e.g.

It's small, handy and unobtrusive. It's important to me that a simple definition lookup doesn't switch context from what I want to be doing, that it not bring up a browser window. I've mentioned it before here: http://dblume.livejournal.com/65402.html That feature is broken yet again, and not worth fixing anymore. MWD's changed the format of their page so much I've given up trying to make mwd work anymore. They'll just break it again. So here's a replacement search. It's called "df", short for definition. Here's how I use it. I add: :|df to localaliases.txt, and now when I need the definition of a word, I type the word with a colon, and the definition pops up in a little window in the corner. Please note: I don't know any JavaScript, XML, CSS, HTML or web servicey stuff. I only did this because it was too useful a feature not to have. Nothing would delight me more than somebody who knows what they're doing taking it over and cleaning it up. Enjoy, --David PS. If anybody does look at the code, you'll see that I only look for definitions in at most two dictionaries. My selection was based on experimentation and is quite arbitrary. I wrote the search for me, after all. But it'd be great to make that customizable, or when a word is misspelled, to attempt a Match from http://services.aonaware.com/DictService/DictService.asmx/Match?word=string&strategy=... with a strategy from http://services.aonaware.com/DictService/DictService.asmx/StrategyList. That'd be nice. PPS. There are probably glaring problems with the submitted file. I apologize in advance. It was only tested on my Windows Vista machine with launchmode=1, and my default browser is Firefox. Please, go ahead and fix it so it works for you, too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
