    Google switched to Answers.com for it's definition link as it's far superior then anything else out there. You get answers for searches, not links. Hope you enjoy as much as I do :)

    It doesn't look like they switched their definitions to me... do you have a sample Google URL where it shows it?

    Yes, here's an example on a search for "love" on Google.

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=love

    Then click on Google's "definition" link which is the link below
