Disable dictionary results in Spotlight?
TinkerTool also allows you to change this preference via a GUI (rather than a Terminal command). It's under Applications > Spotlight:
Note that you will have to log out and back in for the changes to take effect.
- Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal
- Enter
defaults write com.apple.spotlight DictionaryLookupEnabled NO - Log out and Log back in
Please note that on some versions of OS X, Spotlight is part of the SystemUIServer process, and therefore cannot be killed using killall Spotlight.
