It would be nice if there were a way to get straight to it from a regular search though. It is still more convenient for me (in Firefox) to hit Command+k and type "define:". Also, it'd be nice if Google could just read my mind instead of me having to laboriously type in search queries.

To add any search to the search bar in Firefox: - install addon Add to Search Bar https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3682 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3682 Then right click in the search page's search field and choose "Add to search bar ..."

  Actually, I already know about that. What I wanted you to tell me (because I was too lazy to find it out for myself) was that I can change the search engine used via the Command+Up/Down keys. Still, those arrow keys are all the way down there and I can type "define:" pretty fast...

This looks similar to the define: results, but juiced up on steroids. Maybe at some point this will be what you get when you do a define: search?

1. open the link 2. right-click on the search box, select "add a keyword for this search" 3. for "keyword: " type "def" , for "name: " type "Google Dictionary Search" Now in your address bar, type "def uniquity" While you're at it, replace all your search engines with this method and remove your search box. optional: install tiny-menu, move everything from your navigation-toolbar to your top toolbar, hide navigation-bar.

  That sounds awesome, but it doesn't work for me. I did all that and yet FF just does an "I'm feeling lucky" for whatever I type in. Edit: It only works when I add keywords to the already installed search engines.

    Ignore the above comment. I must have been up way too late last night. Thanks for that piece of info.
