Package: dict Version: 1.9.15-1 Followup-For: Bug #300667 I've just found this thread, and would like to suggest an alternate solution. If the dict client accepted multiple -d flags, users could search a short list of dictionaries on the specified server. Even before the translation dictionaries were added I found myself wanting to see results from two or three of the available dictionaries but not any others. As the list of dictionaries grows, this seems like the simplest way to provide users with something in-between stopping at the first result found and showing hits from many databases. Eventually this could even be moved into the configuration file, but making it available on the command line would be a nice start. It would also let me create aliases for easily querying different translation dictionaries when I need to do that.
