Re: Dorland's online dictionary and ONELOOK.COM!

[Guest guest]

I like http://www.onelook.com even better. It searches a huge number of

dictionaries, including the online medical dictionaries, and you can do fuzzy

searches, phrases, and parts of phrases. No more trying to figure out whether to

look under test, method, phenomenon, reaction, reagent, sign, or symptom!

e.g.

Say you heard something like " ogminta histamine test. " You could search Onelook

using **histamine** (with the asterisks) and there right at the top of the list

is " augmented histamine test. " Click on it, and it will take you to links to the

phrase in Stedman's Online Medical Dictionary, On-line Medical Dictionary, and

Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary.

(You could also search **test**, but you'll have more results than you want to

wade through.)

You can also use wild cards. Say you heard what you thought was

sternoclydomastoid. There are two ways to do this. One is to enter it exactly as

you think it is spelled, and Onelook will probably come up with a list of

" perhaps you meant " words, or you can use a wild card and enter stern*stoid or

some variation, depending on how confident you are of parts of the word. It will

give you a list of possible words (2 in this case). You can even do something

like st*n*cl*m*st*d and it will come up with the word (which is

sternocleidomastoid, in case you don't know).

I love this resource. I use it even more than Google. I use it a lot for regular

English words, too.

I hope this makes sense. It's way easier to demonstrate than to describe.

Same here, Deepika. It's well worth the $$. A bit easier to navigate and the

wild card search feature is a godsend.

Since everyone is singing the praises of SEMD I will chime in with I don't

use it that often. I haven't figured out the way to use the wild card.

Yesterday Doc used the product Elastoplast bandaging and though it was

spell checked correctly it was not listed in SEMD. I had to do a google to

see what it was. I have not found it yet for an exact description but I

know it exists from google. Just my input. The only reason I don't use

SEMD daily is probably because I only have 1 busy client and she says

basically the same thing day after day. No need to look something up.

Probably with my orthotics guy coming back I will use it more.

Alice, I also have Stedman's equipment words on CD which I use for any op

notes I get or anything surgery related. For ortho reports, I have

Stedman's Ortho on CD. With those and Quick Look Electronic, I hardly ever

have to look anything up on the net.

But no definition. I found it there too. But we were talking dictionary as

that is where I would look to see the product or get a definition.

I did find it in the Stednans ortho book also.

Thanks though.

---Hey Jaimy, how do you program it on your keyboard? That would be

handy!

Everyone is asking me that, now.....LOL! I have a keyboard from Logitech

that allows you to program web sites directly on the keyboard itself.....it

gives you 9 buttons that you can program to fit your needs (for your email

account, your home page, etc).......so, I added One Look as my " search "

button.....now, I just hit that button and One Look opens in a new

window.......(I have Google's toolbar added onto my IE toolbar, also).....I

use both a lot......

If you don't have a keyboard like this, you can bookmark One Look and then

drag it onto your toolbar (under " my links " ), and that will work just as

quickly as long as you have IE open.......

HTH!

One could also make Onelook their home page, so that when you open Explorer,

you're there.
