Firefox dictionary

Post by **FatherJack** » May 17th, 2006, 21:15

Typing 'dict word' into Firefox is one of my favourite things, but on recently installed versions instead of using http://dictionary.reference.com/ it goes to http://www.chambersharrap.co.uk/chambers/index.shtml which I view as inferior, anyone know why, or how to change it back?

You have to change your "Quick Searches" in your bookmarks.

Points out some other keywords you can use as well. I must remember to use this.

"slang" and "wp" (I changed it to wiki because it's easier for me to remember) are excellent also.

I use plughacks search engine thingmy to manage what's on there:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1563/

and it seems quite nifty too.
