What is "the other way?"
I almost never click anything other than results from the search list.
I open the Dict window, type my query, review the results.
What would we do to improve this?
FWIW, I've not really been fond of any Dictionary since MetaCard's.
Even then I didn't really like it all that much, and worked with Jacque
and some others to make a replacement.
The current Dictionary content is in wonderfully well-separated array
files, making it easier than ever for third parties to use existing
internal APIs to deliver the content in any form we choose.
Anyone up for making a new Dictionary using native (non-web-based) LiveCode?
Would take some work, but very doable.
