Integrated dictionary search.
I know you can highlight a word and define it, but Apple needs to integrate the ability to search from Spotlight or something similar.

Maybe they'll add it in upcoming betas?
Or points releases?
 
Camera Roll should also have PROPER folders. It annoys me that I can create a folder for pics for example Family but instead of moving them in there from Camera Roll they show up in both. This really annoys me

You can use Siri, besides spotlight how else do you want it integrated? But I guess that does not use Dictionary, so it's not the same is it?

I'm quite aware, but not all iOS devices have Siri.
I don't get good service in most places, so Siri is ruled out for me most of the times anyways.

I just want to be able to type in a word and get a definition without resorting to a third party app.

Yes, I know the limits of Siri, I was just trying to figure out ways to get the definition. I could have sworn I read you could get spotlight to define words and perform simple calculations in iOS now.

I thought I read that somewhere too, but it's only limited to web search and Wikipedia search.
