SEARCHING FOR DEFINITIONS
You can limit a search to the dictionary. Kindle searches your default dictionary for
definitions of the word you have entered.
PERFORMING A SEARCH

whole words or partial words, and no distinction is made between lower and upper

all your items, the Kindle Store, Google, Wikipedia, the dictionary, or your notes if
