Add dictionary function to Windows Desktop search

I am into design of interface to improve "users' experience" in using a software. I was studying the 2 Desktop search from both side, Microsoft & Google. While the great engineers of both company create a great product, I see that both are now offering a common function. As we know, Desktop search primary objective is to capture users for the search engine and the functionality of easy-search in our desktop is just additional functionality to ensure web search is readily available. What else the great engineers from Microsoft can add to Windows desktop search to ensure it is selected over the other competing desktop search? My suggestion is to add dictionary that will be available even the users are offline. As we know, millions of people around the world uses their computers at work such email , contract preparation, correspondence and many of them are non- english people with dial-up modem. We can't expect this people to open the internet just to look for the meaning of a word. Availability of such function will be a great help to millions of computer users around the world.

I suggest no desktop search. I hate having an annoying memory using sidebar that doesn't even help me that much.
