One Look

One Look is an on-line dictionary which claims to work as a search engine for words and phrases:

For instance, if you have a word for which you'd like a definition or translation it will take you to various web-based dictionaries that define or translate that word. It will also help you with variations of the word. It claims to have access to more than 5 million words in more than 900 on-line dictionaries.

You can:


 * Define words: Type a word into the search box on the front page to retrieve a list of dictionary web sites that define that word. Be sure "Find definitions" is selected.
 * Find words: Type a pattern consisting of letters and the wildcards * and ? to retrieve a list of words matching your pattern. The asterisk (*) matches any number of letters or symbols. The question mark (?) matches exactly one letter or symbol.
 * Translate words: Type a word into the search box and select "Find translations" to retrieve a list of dictionary web sites that have translations of that word into other languages.
