In the meantime, the easy searching by touching is almost as good. It gives me what I want although sometimes I have to look around a bit for it.

I like X-Ray too... in fact, here's an excerpt from an e-mail that I sent to
kindle-feedback@amazon.com almost a year before the feature was announced:
Quote:
More than once while reading a book I've found myself wishing for a "book specific dictionary".
For example: When reading a multi-book science fiction series there is often a long period of time between books and I find myself forgetting what place names or characters are in reference to. It'd be nice if the ebook could include its own supplemental dictionary that is also searched when I move the cursor over a word that could help refresh my memory.
Obviously this dictionary would have to be provided by the author/editor/publisher, but in order to do so the ebook file format and the device would have to support the feature.
This seems like it could be a differentiating feature that makes the Kindle even more appealing than it already is.
