This is exactly what WordNet dictionary does for me. I've noticed, that the missing words seem to be in blocks (considering alphabetical order).
For example, when I search for words starting with an "a", the first one it offers, is "annotate" - rather far down the alphabet. There are no words in between to be found - no "abbey", no "acid", etc.
Similarly, the "b" words start with "black sea bass". Also in other parts of the alphabet, random sections seem to be missing.
The thing is, the source files seem to contain the missing words, so they are just not found.
