Hi to everyone:

Firstly many thanks to those who has developed and contributed to this magnificent program!

I have been with a strange problem for quite a long time:

In one group consisting of dictionaries of formats of DSL, BGL, STARDICT, when I looked up a word, many others related words' definitiones also will be shown. For example, when I look up the word "mammal", one of my dictionaries, Merriam-Webster Collegiate® Dictionary will give results like:

From Merriam-Webster Collegiate® Dictionary
mam·mal

Pronunciation: 'ma-məl
Function: noun
Etymology: New Latin Mammalia, from Late Latin, neuter plural of mammalis of the breast, from Latin mamma breast

rodent ulcer

: a chronic persisting ulcer of the exposed skin and especially of the face that is destructive locally, spreads slowly, and is usually a carcinoma derived from basal cells
ro·dent

Pronunciation: 'rō-dənt
Function: noun
Etymology: ultimately from Latin rodent-, rodens, present participle of rodere to gnaw; akin to Latin radere to scrape, scratch, Sanskrit radati he gnaws

2 : a small mammal (as a rabbit or a shrew) other than a true rodent
–rodent adjective

Above those underlined boldfaced words(mam·mal, 1mar·su·pi·al, 2marsupial, pri·mate, rodent ulcer, ro·dent) are headwords unsought that are shown when input and search mammal, while I just want to see defintion of mammel!

Anyone has idea how does this happen and how to get rid of so many unsought entries?

Thank you!

is your "Merriam-Webster Collegiate® Dictionary" a dsl, stardict or babylon dictionary? I'm not experiencing the issue with a babylon dictionary. See attached screenshot.

Thanks chulai for you attention!

My "Merriam-Webster Collegiate® Dictionary" is of BGl, in it's group there are others dictionaries of Stardict and DSl formats. It seems when I look up the word "mammal", all the dictionaries try to show me related words of "mammal" as long as they have them as entry:

The following DSL dictionary is trying to show more than I have inquired:

And this is of Stardict, which also is overkind in showing me unsoght entries.

So what's wrong with them!

Thanks!

So babylon dictionary is ok. The others dictionaries must have all those term as related to mammal. In fact rodents, marsupials and primates are related in that they are all mammals.

In one group consisting of dictionaries of formats of DSL, BGL, STARDICT, when I looked up a word, many others related words' definitiones also will be shown. For example, when I look up the word "mammal", one of my dictionaries, Merriam-Webster Collegiate® Dictionary will give results like:

One of the dictionaries you use is stating that all those other words are basically all alternate forms of 'mammal', which spoils the result in this way. Find which dictionary is causing this and just get rid of it.

Thanks to all who have cared my problem. Following advice of ikm, I have identified the dictionary that mess the search result is the one named "Babylon Picture Dictionary.bgl", which by stating

the other words are basically all alternate forms of 'mammal'

causes that those related words' entries also be shown when looking up "mammal". By removing from the dictionaries group, I get clean results.
So problem resolved!
Thanks to all!
