Dictionary in Spotlight is activated whenever you begin typing a word. For example, if I want to get the definition for "pedantic," I would just type that word in Spotlight and the definition will appear among the search results.

Interesting choice of word. Personally, I would have chosen "overscrupulous".

No definition group under Spotlight

I'm using OS X 10.5.6, and the Dictionary function of Spotlight isn't working. For any word I type, all I get are references to files or apps with that word in the name or in the file content/metadata. I never see a Definition grouping in the Spotlight results list. What's up with that?

In terminal type:

defaults write com.apple.spotlight DictionaryLookupEnabled YES

followed by

killall Spotlight

That should fix it.
