Hi,
Swordfish has customizable searches for terms on the web. It has Goo pre-configured, ready to use out of the box.
Highlight the term you want to look up and then select "Search Term on the Web" in "Terminology" menu or press "Shift + Ctrl + D" ("Shift + Cmd + D" if you use a Mac).

Thanks much for this. I tried this tool and it seems it may help my workflow.
However, when I try to view a term using Dictionary Goo, it opens up another smaller window on top of the Swordfish interface. While this is slightly better than my current workflow (not taking into account the overall learning curve of the tool), I was hoping to find a tool where it shows the dictionary lookup on the same screen so I can avoid having to manage multiple windows at once.
Also, since it looks like you are the creator of Swordfish you might want to mention that in your answer (:
