Odd Sherlock dictionary search glitch and fix Apps
I don't know if this problem is exclusive to my machine, but I thought I would share my fix...

About half the time, when loading the Sherlock Dictionary channel, I have trouble performing searches. If I enter a word and hit the Return key I am met with a "No Results Found" response on even the most common of words. This confused me as to whether Sherlock may not see my Net connection, as the search only took about half of a second. At other times, Sherlock will perform what appears to be a real search without finding matches. Again, this happens even with very common words (wood, chair, etc).

I have found that this problem is alleviated by using the mouse to click the search button for a single search. After taking this step once, Sherlock seems more than happy to behave, and performs successful searches when I use the "Return" key. This lasts for the rest of the time that I leave Sherlock open, regardless of using other channels between word searches.

Hope this helps someone!

I\'ve had the same problem in other channels, definitely in the Flights channel (for a flight I knew existed). Maybe it\'s a bug that should be reported?
