In the song Danny Boy, there is a line, "From Glen to Glen" or is it Glenn, or Glyn. My dime store dictionary does not have either

Double-click on 'Glen', then right click, select 'Search Google for...' (in Firefox, anyway); top match is Wikipedia article. Filter through a reality/sensible check noting it's a typically Scottish word (though I know it from Northern English) which ties in with the pipes in the lyrics, also lyrics 'down the mountain side'. Google will often give a dictionary definition with the above procedure, which is why I now like reading stuff in the browser - and not necessarily just online (and there was another use - I wasn't sure of the spelling of necessarily - one 'c' or two? - and was able to quickly verify).
Or in Google, enter:
definition:glen
Switch, KinkyWinks just specified she's not as interested in dictionary definitions, preferring to explore. I use the opposition question formatting : definition. After you use it a few times, FF learns to anticipate it and offers it as an option. But then, I'm always checking dictionary and thesaurus definitions.
