Multi Dictionary Lookup

When writing or reading texts for any purpose, be it personal, school or work, it's usually a good idea to verify any part of content that has a somewhat unclear meaning. You should check what that word or expression means exactly, especially if there can be more than one explanation for the bit of text in question.

For Firefox users things can be a bit more easy in this respect because there is a dedicated add-on that can take care of the word search. Called Multi Dictionary Lookup, this extension makes it possible for everyone to view the meaning of a highlighted word on the spot.

This particular add-on uses several online dictionaries as its main resources, to be more precise The Free Dictionary, Urban Dictionary and Bee Dictionary. As soon as you install the extension and restart your Internet browser, the functionality of Multi Dictionary Lookup will become active.

Accessing the query commands can be done from the context menu, so using this tiny helper is a breeze. You just have to select the word and right-click it, then pick one of the available options for defining it.

The meanings, if any are available, will be displayed in a pop-up tab that appears inside Firefox, next to the highlighted text. If you want to go to the online webpage that hosts all the definitions, you can simply press the 'Powered by' link and in a couple of instants the website will open to the desired section of the dictionary.

Since it is so easy to use, Multi Dictionary Lookup is surely a recommended add-on for everyone, but the addition of other sources is a must if this extension is to gain more fans and provide its existing users with a well-deserved feature improvement.
