How to Use Google as a Dictionary

Did you know that you could find the definition of a word using Google? Here’s how you do it - if you would like to find the meaning of a word say ‘blogging’ you could search for define: blogging and Google will show you the definitions of blogging on the Web.

The information is shown from a variety of dictionary related Web sites such as Wikipedia.org, and there’s a link to the full entry for each Web site. Google also provides links to related searches, such as “blogging engine” in this example.

I had learned this trick from a friend but you can find this on About.com.

Update: Other Google Web Search Features can be found
