A Perl script to search Noah Webster's classic 1913 dictionary and print

any matching entries to standard output.

 Example:

    $ ./webster-search.pl baseball

    BASEBALL

    Base"ball", n.

    1. A game of ball, so called from the bases or bounds ( four in

    number) which designate the circuit which each player must endeavor

    to make after striking the ball.

    2. The ball used in this game.

Vim installation

----------------

If you use vim-plug:

```vim

Plug 'dnmfarrell/WebsterSearch'

```

Or install the plugin as a package (requires vim 8):

    $ mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/webster-search/start

    $ cd ~/.vim/pack/webster-search/start

    $ git clone [email protected]:dnmfarrell/WebsterSearch webster-search

Update .vimrc to map `d` to call webster-search on the word under the

cursor, or visually highlighted:

    $ echo "nnoremap d :WebsterSearch(expand(''))" >> ~/.vimrc

    $ echo "vnoremap d :WebsterSearch(@*)" >> ~/.vimrc
