http://www.google.com/dictionary

Google Dictionary Google Dictionary #2

Enjoy!

PS: I prefer LEO, Cambridge Dictionaries Online, Merrian-Webster and Urbandictionary over Google's somewhat yet limited dictionary.

]]> Apparently google.com has a new search design:

New Google Search Design

How to enable it:

  1. Go to google.com
  2. Copy/Paste this into your web browser address field and hit enter: 
    javascript:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/;  domain=.google.com");
  3. Reload google.com

Bear in mind, I have no idea how to revert this change. Still I like it this way much more!

]]> GoogleA few days ago, Google released a new search engine infrastructure. Although you'll see nothing on the surface, because according to Google it operates "under the hood".

Yet deep down it DOES work differently and it most certainly delivers the promised improved search speed and better search results.

What does better mean? Well that's up to everybodys point of view, for me at least the newly structured search results are in fact way better structured  than the old ones.

So without further ado, go on and test the new infrastructure: http://www2.sandbox.google.com

PS: Since it's in beta testing stage expect the new search engine to be down occasionally!
