What is Ziptionary?

The concept behind Ziptionary is incredibly simple... but once you've used it, you'll wonder how you managed without it!

Ziptionary is a free tool for Internet Explorer that allows you to right-click on any word, phrase, or link and select "Search Web" or "Search Encyclopedia", as shown below:

Once you've right-clicked a word and selected your type of search, your results are displayed immediately.   The Ziptionary bar (which is easily closed by clicking the X in its top right corner) gives you quick links to about a dozen different types of searches, all without ever having to type your search!

Tip: If you would like to bring up the Ziptionary search box without first right-clicking on a word, just press Shift-Ctrl-. (that's the period key with shift and control at the same time).

That's all there is to it!  Ziptionary is tiny (around 150K - and only one file!), fast, and can be installed or uninstalled in seconds. 

Ziptionary is completely free.  Ziptionary contains no adware, no spyware, and no popups.  Ziptionary does not mess with any of your settings for the normal IE search box.

Why is it Free?

Ziptionary is free because it was something I wrote for my own use: it was something I wished IE had and that I needed. 

Any time you hear the word "Free Software", one naturally thinks of annoying adware or spyware.  Ziptionary contains none of that.  The only way Ziptionary generates any revenue for me is if and when you click on a sponsored link, for example, in the Google search results.  There are no requests for donations, and you should never be asked to pay for Ziptionary if you download it at another site.

The following is an index of words that Ziptionary recognizes automatically (it's really on this page just so that the search engines can index it), but your search terms are unlimited.  You can also select an entire phrase, sentence, or paragraph to search on as well.
