Google to Dictionary.com No More

[namewaiter]

Pretty cool, now when you click on definition of the search subject, the links take you to Answers.com - no more dictionary.com

did google buy answers.com/gurunet.com or just enter into an agreement?

I see multiple sources for "term definition" when you search in google

Still not sure why Google, simply doesn't link to -> Google -> define:[word here]

Interesting catch ... just to note that dictionary.com, answers.com, tfd, hyper, etc all use either Houghton Mifflin or WordNet as their primary sources anyway

i like the old way better

it hasn't been going to dictionary.com for a long time... i always get that darn princeton dictionary return... which is irritatingly inaccurate...

Hrmmm I was getting dictionary.com until two days ago.

i think the only time i was getting the dictionary.com returns was when i actually had the toolbar downloaded.. it wasn't visible, but when i did a definition in google that's when it went to dictionary.com... but when you said that I thought, I must be missing something and I found this:
