This is a feature I too would like very much.

If you touch a word in Bookmaster and select "Define" then you get a dictionary
look-up. Here you can also select "Search Web". That will activate the browser to do a Google lookup. Fine!

If there was a user defined option there to specify another user defined look-up that would be very nice.

Let me illustrate with an example. I subscribe to an online dictionary ordbogen.com

Say you want to know the meaning of "horse" then you can send this to a browser:

http://www.ordbogen.com/opslag.php?word=horse&dict=auto

It could be generalized in Bookmaster as (example) an option

http://www.ordbogen.com/opslag.php?word=%s&dict=auto

In the bottom of the look-up window you could have three options.

Manage Search Web Search Google


Where Search Web is user defined.

I hope I have made myself clear
