Google Definitions

Via WebasterWorld quoting a soon-to-be-released Google Press Release,

Google introduced a new advanced search command that enables users to find the most current definitions to word(s) and phrases. Starting today, users can type the word "define," then a space, and the word or phrase they want defined into the Google.com search field. If Google has seen a definition for the word or phrase on the Web, it will retrieve that information and display it at the top of the search results page.

This is superhandy and will be even better once it makes its way into the Google Toolbar. A cursory glance suggests that it works pretty well for quick and dirty definitions and it is extremely simple to use.

define:define defines define
