yes, that's how the search function works by default. I'm trying to find out if there is an even quicker way to search. such as the existing shortcuts by typing "@store","@wiki" or "@web" in the beginning of the search term then type what you want search, that'll lead you directly to the search restuls for the online store, wikpedia result & google search. does that make sense?

so I figure there should be something similar for the dictionary.
