Everyone knows that Google is a search engine! But then, did you know that Google has a Hidden Dictionary? Well, you may have noticed that when you're searching for a word, Google will offer a link to Web
definitions of your word. This is part of Google's hidden dictionary!
Let’s say that you want to know the meaning ,the definition ,synonym of the word GREEDY.
Go to Google and type in the word
greedy.
Click the
Google search button.

Your results will show up.
You will also see a link for
definition. Now Click
definition.
Another page will open up with the
Dictionary Meaning,
Thesaurus,
Antonyms,
Word Tutor,
Translations,
Best of the Web and even
Shopping for the word
GREEDY.






But then , if you are only interested in finding a quick dictionary style definition of
greedy, use the syntax
define:Like this -
define:greedyType in and click Google Search.


If you want the definitions in other languages too,there are options.
For,instance, if you click on
German, the results will show up in German!


What if you are not a good speller?Do not worry! Google will still suggest an alternate search, just as it does for regular Web searches. Like if we type in
define: gredy, Google will helpfully ask you, "
Did you mean: define: greedy."
How cool is this? :)
