Serendipity is one of a set of tools (Serendipity proper, Serendipitous OneSearch, Serendipitous Google Search & Stochastics) meant to assist in the research of (mainly, but not necessarily, nor exclusively) foreign terms on the Internet via Google. It is of particular interest to translators in that it aims, successfully, in many cases, at restricting the results of queries to the entries of dictionaries and similar wordbooks. The English module, for instance, can be used to search for English equivalents of foreign terms (French, Italian, Portuguese, &c.), but also, as the case may be, English synonyms of English words or their definition. The same goes for the French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese modules, mutatis mutandis. Glossaries 1 & 2 give different results (1 is normally better). Glossary 3 is somewhat unpredictable, for lack of a better option.
Search and MetaSearch Engines gives access to an array of these, on the assumption that one might sometimes like to give something other than Google a try, just for the heck of it...
