After popular request I reverted the change I made in 2.0 so that DS
would work better with languages with accents and non latin languages,
because I got quite some complaints.

Get the new version if you were experiencing problems from
http://dictionarysearch.mozdev.org

Subject: [Dictionarysearch] Chinese
Message-ID: <000401c7582c$ba6ba2d0$0402a8c0@LUDW0AAE8E8EFF>

Dear Sir,

 

I just want to thank you all.  With the latest DictionarySearch v2.01, I am back on track now.  The Chinese issue is now over.  I have tried to use the extension to search the yahoo site and the cuhk site, both of them accept Chinese characters with no error.

 

I have tried to Dic Search Chinese (Traditional Chinese) and Chinese (Simplified Chinese).  The Traditional Chinese is ok.  The Simplified Chinese is not ok yet. Anyway, I can use Tongwen to transform Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese first, the conversion is also done by a plugin, so I have no problem with Chinese anymore.

 

Thank you again.

Previously I was able to use dictionarysearch with the following URL to query Chinese:

 

 <http://hk.dictionary.yahoo.com/search.html?s=%BCv%C5T> http://hk.dictionary.yahoo.com/search.html?s=??

(or http://hk.dictionary.yahoo.com/search.html?s=%BCv%C5T)

 

http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/cgi-bin/canton-new.pl?query=?

(or http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/cgi-bin/canton-new.pl?query=%BC%D6)

 

But after upgrading to Firefox 2.0 I am no longer able to use these URLs.  What is wrong with it?  Is that something to do with Firefox?  Can I use any argument to force dictionarysearch to use BIG-5 as the default encoding?

 

tch

Subject: [Dictionarysearch] Open definition of new window instead of new tab?
Message-ID: <EA19F9C4FDBF4E388160375CC23A2FD2@Babylon5>

"right click and select "Dictionary Search for ...". A new tab or browser window will open with the meaning of the word you selected."

So how do you open the meaning in a new window instead of a new tab? In Firefox 2.0.0.2 final I have Tab options set to open new pages in a new window but the meaning still opens in a new tab. Any other setting needs changed?
Thanks

The new window is actually meant for Thunderbird. I admit the text is confusing
