GdictContext is an interface used to uniformly access dictionary transport objects. Each implementation of GdictContext must provide functions for accessing the list of databases available on a dictionary source and the available matching strategies; a function for retrieving all words matching a given string, inside one (or more) of those databases and using one of those strategies; a function for querying one (or more) of those databases for a definition of a word.
Implementations of the GdictContext interface should query their dictionary sources asynchronously; methods of the GdictContext interface should return immediately, and each time a new database, strategy, match or definition has been found, a signal should be fired by those implementations.

default database
|
word : |
the word to search |
error : |
return location for a GError, or NULL
|
