Farewell, dictionary. Actually, I didn’t even know it existed. But I’ll miss it all the same. However, if you didn’t know, just typing “[word] definition” or “define: [word]” in a Google Search bar will still yield the results you seek. Unless you like browsing full dictionaries just for the hell of it, in which case I say “god bless your heart.” [Engadget]
That is sad, but I don’t think I ever used it anyway.
Same here, if I need to define something I just type define and then the word in Google.
Same.
When I’m mobile, though I use this cool dictionary app: SnaPanda
Google’s ‘define:’ keyword sucks now.
Although I also wasn’t aware of the dictionary, but ‘define:’ was a real life saver, used to offer a lot of other options and definitions related to a word, but now, it just sucks.
I wish they get it back :-/
Wait…WHY!!! :< That was my favourite feature of G search :<
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO(epic continuation….) I literally just used it yesterday! I used it all the time WHY GOOGLE WHYYYY
can i triple like this?
http://nooooooooooooooo.com
Is there an app for that? :O
It was the browser dictionary of choice for me… Was until today.
Just google.com/dictionary is gone. You can still define words in google with “define word”.
not quite the same but you can use the following as a replacement where %s is the search term (used twice):
http://www.google.com/search?&ie=UTF-8&q=define+%s#hl=en&q=%s&tbs=dfn:1&fp=1
I’m still getting good definaitions. I don’t get what has changed, then again I didn’t use it too much before.
Wait…I just define search and I got my definition O.o I thought this feature is missing on search?
i used it in the Quick Lookup app. sucks guess ill go back to the dictionary.com app
Exact same thing i did…
I searched the word “clench” and there was a dictionary definition (not sure though if this is part of Google Dictionary). The extension for Google Dictionary is still working, by the way. This is sad. :
Edit: This was taken at 2:30 am EDT
WTF!?!?!?!?! WHY ???? I always used the ” Define: “
I used the “define:” command a lot…so luckily that is staying in some form…sadly the form is not as good as it used to be…..
I wonder why they did it
Its been gone for a WHILE now. I miss it. I used it all the time.
I can’t believe google dictionary is down. WTF? I have been using it since ever since to define words that don’t make sense to my ears. Why Google Why????
