I recently wrote about new web search sites (see Nifty New Web Search Sites). Alex and others fired back with one really good site I missed. OneLook is, as Alex says, "the best damned dictionary site out there."
He's right.
Type a word or phrase into the search field and you'll get a slew of matches to dictionary sites ready to give you definitions.
You can add a small bookmarklet (a javascript) to your browser. [Thanks, David!] Fill in the word in the script pop-up box; the script will then automatically insert your word and open to the OneLook page.
For instructions, head for the site's About page and scroll to " Access OneLook Dictionary Search from any site."
BTW, check out Steve Kangas's site if you're intrigued with Bookmarklets.
Thanks, I added it to my Mozilla search box:

Thanks for the info.
That's a great and fast way of finding word defintion and its meaning.
I've added it to my Linkshelf program of bookmark.
also checkout AbbreviationZ.com for acronyms and abbreviations definitions.
