As Joe previously posted, one of the major improvements in Leopard is the enhancement of Spotlight functionality. If you’re not familiar with it, Spotlight is a tool that can be used quickly to search for just about anything in your Mac. You activate it by clicking on the magnifying glass in the upper-right corner of your screen or by pressing the command key and the space bar at the same time.
A subtle, new feature is the ability for Spotlight to search the Dictionary application for results. Just type in a word you would like to look up and Spotlight will include the definition in the results. Selecting the “Definition” result will open the Dictionary application where you can read the full definition, see related terms, and even jump over to the thesaurus section if you like.
