Dictionary as you type
ObjectGraph Dictionary is another implementation of "providing information as you type" - this time giving you dictionary entries.
Rather different than the other implementations we've seen recently, which either offered suggested words to search for, or an index of pages to visit, in this demo the list which pops up provides the full result - there is no further page to consult.
In fact if you actually press enter at the end of your typing, then nothing happens. I think that it would be useful for enter to take you to a static page of the results - that way you could do other things with the defintions you have just found, such as cut and paste them somewhere.
