Dictionaries and search capabilities

At first I thought this function to be very useful. As I prefer to read my eBooks in english (and I'm no native speaker), I sometimes need to lookup a word (just a few times for each book).

But as there is no "fuzzy" search and no way to input a word (or just search for a part of it), in most cases the dictionary is useless... How to find "winced" when the basic form is "wince" etc.?!

Does anybody know of an english dictionary to include all different word forms (for searching purposes)? Are there any plans to include a "fuzzy" search in the future or some kind of virtual keyboard for input???

What do you think?
