It's Like Google Suggest, Only As A Dictionary

There's been a lot of discussion about Google Suggest, which provides potential words and phrases depending on what you type into the query box. There's a similar tool available using a couple of dictionaries instead of the Web. It's called ObjectGraph Dictionary and it's available at http://www.objectgraph.com/dictionary .

There are two dictionaries being used here; a regular dictionary and FOLDOC (Free On-Line Dictionary of Computing.) The default is regular. I started typing in esuriant and ObjectGraph began cycling through suggestions. the cool thing is that in addition to word listings, the suggestion box also contains definitions. So when you've gotten as far as esuri you'll have four relevant words and their dictionary definitions right there.

In addition to the tool itself, the site also has extensive information on how the tool works, as well as a development 'blog.
