Daily Trick 28. Wikipedia Browser
I believe we all have ever used Wikipedia and perhaps we often use it. And usually, we will use our web browser to search the entry of Wikipedia, won't we?
But using our Mac, it is not necessary for us to open web browser just to look for the entry in Wikipedia. It's because we can use our Dictionary.app to browse through Wikipedia entries.
But initially, you will need to enable Wikipedia as one of your Dictionary sources. Here are the steps to do it:
- Open your Dictionary.app and go to its Preferences
- Inside you can see many sources for your Dictionary. You should choose the one labelled Wikipedia, tick it, and drag it to the first order
- After you've done this setting, you can type in your search term and the search result will be grabbed from Wikipedia
Of course with similar steps as above, you can also enable Thesaurus or other dictionaries as the source.
