After doing Factory Reset on my MC5, I have no auto dictionary access for selected words.

The desired word highlights in the text, but instead of going to the dictionary, a Close (X) and a Search symbol appear at bottom right. Pressing the Search symbol fetches an Actions menu that does NOT include a Dictionary choice.

In Settings>Application>ManageApps there is no running Dictionary, but there is an AppInfo entry for 'dict' of total 14.68 MB and offering options to 'Force Stop' or 'Disable'.
So it is running but also not running?

Pressing Apps>dict invokes a keyboard and search bar which accesses either an "English explanatory dictionary (main)" or "Oxford English ... 2nd Ed P1"

How can I get this manual lookup process be automatic when I highlight a word in the text?
