Google has a feature I never use named Google Dictionary. In the Google Dictionary, users can “star” words to be put in a special list for later.

Earlier this week, the starring feature stopped working. A thread was created at Google Web Search Help to report the issue. Days later, Googler Emmit confirmed the bug and said they will look into it. Emmit said:

Hours after that message from Emmit, the bug was fixed.

Here are some pictures of the starring feature:

I should note that there is still a minor bug in this staring feature. The stars don’t stay on when you go back to that word. By that I mean, if you star a word, and then search for that word again, the star is white, and not highlighted yellow.
