Wordnik and plural form definitions about zeroclickinfo-spice HOT 9 CLOSED

I agree, that looks way better. @jagtalon what do you think?

@zekiel @moollaza Ah, I'll see what I can do! Thanks for the report, guys.

There's this problem of having multiple definitions:

Plural form of <xref>cat</xref>.
Plural form of <xref>category</xref>.

So which definition should we load? Maybe we can do a popover when either "cat" or "category" (that's what Wordnik actually does):

@jagtalon I don't quite understand:

1. Why are multiple definitions a problem? We can put the first in item[0] and perhaps the rest in item[1] or do the top 3 definitions in the matching item array. Or, like the way I hide the items in HackerNews, we can have a list of the definitions which expand when clicked on. Does that make sense?

2. What word results it both those definitions? If the user searched "cats" and Wordnik returns plural of "cat" and "category" i think it makes sense, at least as a good heuristic, to just show that word that is most similar. Ie "cats" vs "cat" is only a one letter difference.

@moollaza totally makes sense. I'll try that one out, too. But I also tried Wordnik's method (thanks to Bootstrap):

Might be buggy right now, but tell me what you guys think!

@jagtalon it certainly looks nice but i think the behaviour is unexpected and doesn't keep with how the rest of the plugins react. As I usually say, I would like to maintain uniformity across the plugins. Also I don't want users to get the idea that they can just start grabbing bits and pieces of 3rd party libraries because again that's not something we want. Bootstrap is great and although I use it personally, we haven't used it elsewhere and if we want to incorporate it, that's part of a bigger discussion. For now lets keep the user experience as similar to other plugins as possible. I think we should utilize a multi-item layout like HackerNews does.

@zekiel what do you think of this?

You can try it out here: https://jagtalon.duckduckgo.com/?q=define+talons, and you can compare it with this: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=define+talons

@jagtalon is this fix finished?
