FreeThesaurus.net is a new online thesaurus service offered by DonationCoder.com, for English language lovers around the globe in their continuous quest for the right words.
It's the online brother of our
Mobysaurus, with much more
frequent updates, and displays no error message when you are found guilty of not using Windows. ;)
Two of the major features in Mobysaurus are also offered on FreeThesaurus.net:
- Highlighting and linking synonyms that are themselves main entries - you'll see words with dotted, khaki underlines that are clickable.
- Headword suggestions - the part starts with 'Main entries similar to...' at the bottom of the results page, in which it displays a number of related main entries that may also interest you.
I hope you will like it more than many other thesaurus sites out there that will show you less entries than ads and bloat up the page so it takes quite a few seconds to load. After all, when you are looking for synonyms, you just want to see relevant words and you want them now, is it not? 8)
This is my first php+mysql project (before this there was hmmm, nothing, nil, zero, nada) and I'm still very inexperienced in web programming. Thanks to mouser for offering me his huge helping hand during development. And if you come across any bugs plz do
let me know! :up:
