When using krunner's dictionary I get no results. Steps to reproduce: - open krunner - enter 'define hello' (the define keyword might be different for you) Expected results: - a list of definitions for 'hello' Actual results: - no feedback at all, particularly no list of definitions
I can reproduce on Neon 5.12.2. There's also a thread on KDE Forums with two users confirming the same: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=142476 I am therefore marking this as confirmed. From what I can understand (please fault me if I'm wrong), krunner's dictionary uses the same dict engine as the Plasma Widget 'Dictionary'. But this widget is able to look up definitions on my system (without extra dictionaries installed).
There's two bugs: First of all, the runner's adaptor to the data engine is broken and requests a word of ":" + word (note the colon) and then fails to map that. Secondly, KRunner times out after 1.5 s or so invalidating the runner context usually before the dict result arrives.

So, why nobody fixed it?

Can confirm still an issue with the following system: Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 Kernel Version: 5.0.5-arch1-1-ARCH OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz Memory: 7.5 GiB of RAM Hate to bump an old thread/bug, but its definitely still an issue for me. hspell and aspell are installed, and the Dictionary widget is installed as well
Should be fixed by https://cgit.kde.org/milou.git/commit/?id=c918c2840bcbbc52da72f163c8494db227db3600 and https://cgit.kde.org/kdeplasma-addons.git/commit/?id=cda996dfb011d50bcc1dcc68add42bdf24f175fc

I have this bug in Manjaro with KDE plasma 5.24.3
Unless you know it's caused by the reasons states in #2 it's a new bug.
(In reply to David Edmundson from comment #9) > Unless you know it's caused by the reasons states in #2 it's a new bug. I don't know. Actually, it involves the widget "Dictionay" as well. In particular, when configuring it nothing appears in the list of available dictionaries. On the other hand, other KDE applications in my system, kate for example, have perfectly working language check.
