BogDICT is a client for the DICT protocol defined in RFC 2229 . This protocol describes a method for defining short strings (search terms) within multiple references.
This application allows the user to search multiple servers and references for these terms using a simple interface. The user needs only type the term they wish defined into the appropriate area and click the Search button. The tool will list all available defintions and the user can navigate through these, viewing each. Where cross-references are detected, these will be highlighted and the user can click on them to follow through.
A simple history of searches is maintained in a similar manner to a web browser, allowing the user to track back through their previous searches.
The DICT protocol is based at http://dict.org/
