 * Hi!
 * I know this is a too general question, but please help me.
    I’d like to make 
   a searchbar which could retrieve pieces of info from databases and show them 
   to the user (like oxforddictionaries or thefreedictionary), but I am still puzzled
   by this whole process and cannot find enough information on the topic.
 * Any helpful links or tips?

 * I thought WordPress would be an adequate platform for that. I mean for making
   such a dictionary.

 * Have you tried looking through some of the [dictionary plugins](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=dictionary)?

 * I have. Unfortunately they are not so convenient if a dictionary has 2k+ entries.
   
   I don’t know what exactly I expected from making this topic – I simply hoped 
   someone could share a tip, give me a general guideline or point me to a tutorial:/

 * Yes. No luck for now.
 * If I understand well, most practical way to do it would be by uploading the dictionary
   to the mysql database and then creating a php file that connects WordPress with
   it…
 * Any thoughts?
