About Reverse Dictionary
The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. For example, if you type something like "longing for a time in the past", then the engine will return "nostalgia". The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it's starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. So in a sense, this tool is a "search engine for words", or a sentence to pos converter.
I made this tool after working on Associated Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a seek query. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or concise phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren't included in thesauri. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to depart hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding
