About Reverse Dictionary

The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. It simply looks through tonnes of
dictionary de"nitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. For
example, if you type something like "longing for a time in the past", then the engine will
return "nostalgia". The engine has indexed several million de"nitions so far, and at this stage
it's starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes).
It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a de"nition, rather than a
single word. So in a sense, this tool is a "search engine for words", or a sentence to word
converter.

I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a
bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to "nd similar words to a search query. That
project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short
phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren't included in
thesauri. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related
Words to act as a word-"nding and brainstorming toolset. For those interested, I also
developed Describing Words which helps you "nd adjectives and interesting descriptors for
things (e.g. waves, sunsets, trees, etc.).

In case you didn't notice, you can click on words in the search results and you'll be presented
with the de"nition of that word (if available). The de"nitions are sourced from the famous
and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating
such an awesome free resource.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project:
Elastic Search, @HubSpot, WordNet, and @mongodb.
