10.5: Change the dictionary used for Spotlight definitions
I'm running OS X 10.5.6, but the dictionary feature in Spotlight doesn't work for me. When I type a word in the Spotlight textbox, all it shows are files whose names or content/metadata match. I've seen examples from systems where this feature works, and there is a Dictionary (or was it Definition?) heading in the results list that shows the definition. There is no such heading in my results lists. Any ideas? Thanks.

Sounds like you either used a third-party utility (such as Secrets or Onyx) or a Terminal command to disable the Dictionary in Spotlight.
Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and enter this code:
defaults write com.apple.spotlight DictionaryLookupEnabled YES
Press Return. Then, quit Terminal and simply log out and log back in and you should have the Dictionary in Spotlight.

Thanks. That did the trick (after I logged out and back in). |
