What is "the other way?"

I almost never click anything other than results from the search list. 
I open the Dict window, type my query, review the results.

What would we do to improve this?

FWIW, I've not really been fond of any Dictionary since MetaCard's. 
Even then I didn't really like it all that much, and worked with Jacque 
and some others to make a replacement.

The current Dictionary content is in wonderfully well-separated array 
files, making it easier than ever for third parties to use existing 
internal APIs to deliver the content in any form we choose.

Anyone up for making a new Dictionary using native (non-web-based) LiveCode?

Would take some work, but very doable.
