OneLook Dictionary Search With Reverse Lookup

OneLook Dictionary Search is a search engine that crawls hundreds on online dictionaries. The dictionaries range from the general to the highly specialized, and are browsable by topic area. Search results are presented as links to third-party dictionary sites.

Another feature worth taking the time to learn is the Reverse Dictionary. This is a wonderful tool for discovering new and related words and vocabulary terms that relate to a particular concept. The Reverse Dictionary does not return perfect results; OneLook creators encourage you to rephrase your query if your results are not relevant, and the Reverse Dictionary works through "a motley assortment of statistical language processing hacks."

Advanced searching with wildcards and filtering by meaning allow for powerfully targeted query results.
