Why not do it like firefox and allow using different search engines (including wikipedia) in the Safari search box?

Wow! That is cool! I didn't know that! Now there is no reason for that Wikipedia widget in my dashboard..

Don't forget that you can easily enhance Dictionary.App through plugins.
Just take a look at my english to german (or german to english...) translation plugin:

I find the Web Searches Module of Quicksilver to be the most time-efficient manner to grab some wikipedia info - or any number of sources.

If only Apple made this app for the iPhone.
Anyone else notice the iPhone has no built-in Dictionary/Thesaurus?
You have to buy a Dictionary for the iPhone from a third party for $30.00!
And don't tell me to go to a website or google to define words, the iPhone needs a simple and elegant Dictionary/Thesaurus app built-in from Apple like OS X has.

Totally cool. Never knew about the "right-click on any word" feature!

I've always wondered if it was possible to add more online dictionaries. Wikipedia is a special dictionary file - as it is the only one that goes online to fetch information. I tried to modify it - with some success, but I was unable to get it to truly work.
Am I the only one who wants to download a Wiktionary or language translation online dictionry?

nice one, lipflip, and yes, ben, adding dictionaries is easy and very useful. i use translation dictionaries, rhyming, etc, whatever you want. it's pretty painless. just search for apple dictionary plugin, you'll find more than you can imagine.
