What's the best method for dictionary lookups?

Continuing the discussion from Mojeek Focus: Introduction and How to set-up:

You might notice that there are a limited number of results while using the Dictionary template in Mojeek Focus. Here, Mojeek tries to show you the top result from each domain. And, by default, the results are limited to one result per website. This is due to Site Clustering.

If you want to see more results from a particular source, you will have to click the link under one of the initial results.

Showing More Results from One Website

For example, if I want more results from Merriam-Webster then I can click the link beneath that result.

Below we see additional results.

Disable Site Clustering for This Search

There is also an option to unbundle a particular query. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the “without site clustering” link. That will show multiple results from each domain.

Showing the link to "Try again without site clustering" at the bottom of the results page.

Site Clustering Preference

Or you can permanently disable clustering. But that applies to all searches and not just Focus.

Visit the Mojeek Settings page, click on the “Search Results” tab, change the “Results per domain” preference to a different value, and click the “Save Settings” button. The next search will be affected by the new settings.

Note that a fixed number will group results by domain. And the “unlimited” setting will rank each result invidually regardless of the domain.


Hopefully, this explains why results are limited while using Mojeek Focus. And I’ve offered some advice if you want to see more results.
