Google definitions

June 30, 2006

Our next stop on the Google trail is the’define:’ command. Google has incorporated its glossary function from the Labs into Google search. Enter define followed by the word or phrase. Google will find definitions on web pages and display the first one with a link to more. For example if I wanted a definition of RSS, I would type ‘define:RSS’ into Google and it would return:

Related phrases: rss feeds rss feed media rss list of rss feeds rss feed reader rss point

Definitions of rss on the Web:

  • Rich Site Summary.
