TC found a highly useful site: the reverse dictionary. It's for when you have concept, but can't think of the word, and other uses too.

By the way, I wish Safari's auto-complete feature also worked with the name of a bookmark, so I could hit command-L and type "reverse..." instead of "onelook" which I probably won't remember.

This reminds me of the wit who once said "You can't use the dictionary to check the spelling of a word unless you already know how to spell it."

Good point, Ray. www.dictionary.com is helpful, in our wonderful electronic age, of offering other word suggestions, if the original word is input incorrectly. I find that pretty handy. Would have been awesome to have had this, as a kid in elementary school. :-)

If you still have Saft installed, you could create the shortcut 'reverse'. In fact a busy fellow like you, with lots of important things to do, could create a shortcut 'rev' and save yourself four letters every time you use it; or even a bookmarklet that only required you to hit Command+[1-9]
Thank you very much.
I de-installed SAFT, I forget why.
I long ago used up all the 9 handy shortcuts.
