Hey everyone.
There used to be a really good add-on on this website with which one could look up a word in different contexts. Like, if you wrote "tree", it would give you a context for said word from example a newspaper, a story and whatnot. Problem is, I can't remember its name and I was hoping you could help me with that. I hope I made myself clear enough :) Cheers. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Can you be more specific?
What browser, approximate add-on name, suggested by whom, for what language, what thread? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If I'd remembered any of those things I would have it by now :P
It was a very simple add-on with which you could look word up in context. I remember there was Spanish in it for sure, not sure about other language though. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You can't remember the browser, even? I suppose it's true that many if not most extensions are available for both Chrome and Firefox, not all are. Have you tried going to each browser's add-on site and searched? Without knowing at least which browser you were using, it'll be difficult to help. R. == 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I cannot help you with this specific add-on, but you might find the Netspeak website useful, which you can use it to search for example sentences.
For example, if you search for c'est trop ?, it'll show you the most commonly used adjectives after "trop." 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks, but it's not what I'm looking for. I need a way to memorise German words, and looking words up in a context is the best way for me to remember them. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Are you by any chance looking for the browser app "Learning with Texts". IIRC, if offers several lookup features and one of them is a concordance search. (AFAIK, Benny "the Irish Polyglot" Lewis hosts this app on his site.)
