Correct me if I'm wrong. But this implementation chains you to the web.
So I have to be on-line just to know the meaning of STFW. If the plugin
uses instead the dict protocol, I could use my local dict server from
within AbiWord.
$ dict STFW
1 definition found
From Jargon File (4.3.0, 30 APR 2001) [jargon]:
STFW imp. /S-T-F-W/ [Usenet] Commmon abbreviation for "Search The
Fucking Web", a suggestion that what you're asking for is a query better
handled by a search engine than a human being. Usage is common and
exactly parallel to both senses of {RTFM}.
