Hi Ya'll,
I have the BeoLingus German-English dictionary installed as an extension of the OSX Dictionary.app. When I search for a word, either in all dictionaries and thesauruses or just in the BeoLingus dictionary, I am presented with a list with phrases containing the word at the top, and then the actual word somewhere later on. A search for the word "green," for instance, yields "A hedge between keeps friendships green" at the top, followed by other phrases. "Green" itself doesn't appear until halfway through the list.
I would like it if "green" or whichever word would appear at the top of the list, so I could simply hit enter and see the word that I actually want. This is especially important to me, because I like to search all dictionaries at once. I write a lot in English and German, and searching all dictionaries at once is not only faster than always switching to the dictionary I need, it's helpful for finding synonyms in both languages. I realize I can disable BeoLingus and use another German-English dictionary, which doesn't give me the same problem, but I don't like this option. BeoLingus is the better dictionary, and the phrases BeoLingus suggests are pretty useful, when I actually need them.
If it's relevant, I'm using Snow Leopard. Let me know if I haven't been clear, or if I need to provide more information.
Thanks
