ABSTRACT:
A system and method are directed towards using an icon, animation, or other indicator to search for content associated with one or more words, language characters, or other symbols on a display. A pointing device, such as a mouse, is used to drag and drop the indicator onto a displayed symbol. Display data near the drop location of the indicator are evaluated to determine one or more words or other symbols. A determined symbol is submitted to a search system to access a definition, a translation, an encyclopedia entry, an audio clip, an image, and/or other content associated with the determined symbol. The indicator may be controlled on a client device which initiates the search by submitting a search request over a network to a server. Resulting content is displayed in a separate result window, which may also include tabs, buttons, and/or other elements for selecting other content.
