Google updates Search with synonyms and translation

Google made a quick announcement on its Google+ page about a new update for finding definitions using Search. When you enter “define:” followed by the word you want defined or use Voice Search to inquire about definitions, synonyms of the word will appear as well as examples of how to use the word. 

Also, a dropdown menu for the word you asked for will now have a translate feature. Once you select a language, all your future searches will be translated into that language in that section below the dropdown. You can change your preferred language any time, of course. Both features are available on desktop and mobile versions.
