Did you know the new Leopard Dictionary supports even more ways to get you the information your chasing?
For example, the wikipedia is now built right in, and can search and display content right from wikipedia if your connected to the internet. Try it out!

Open dictionary, make a search. At the top of the dictionary there is a menu with different ways to search (open the picture to see). If you click on wikipedia, it will search wikipedia!

For me the Wikipedia search is not working. Whatever i search for, No results found is the message i get. Meanwhile, i have a wikipedia widget, that works fine. Any idea ?!?1

It should work. The machine your trying it on is connected to the internet? I just tried it then with my machine NOT connected, and the application crashed and quit!

James, The machine is connected to the net. The Wiki widget i have gets the details from net
I checked preferences for any settings, nothing i could find.

I don’t understand how that feature would be of any help.
Most thing you look lead to a Wikipedia article to be downloaded form the net.
Why should I use the Dictionary sowftware instead of just using Wikipedia?
Makes no sense to me…

I guess not everyone will use it. Not everyone uses wiki anyway. I had the wikipedia widget on my dashboard, I’ve removed it, I just use the dictionary to search for articles now, it’s just as fast, especially with spotlight

i like it!
its great, i tend to use wiki for finding out about tv series’
i’m a big tvDownloader and not all sites have a link telling you about the show and wiki is a great reference for tv show info; it nice and direct as you could google it and wiki will be a couple of links down!
good tip tho.
