[Google Search] Searching alternatives

My company restricted Urban Dictionary…but as a non-native I need it all the time. Google provides a cool way to look up information without entering the web pages, which means a lot to users like me who got banned from using some sites because of secure issues.

I could not get into www.urbandictionary.com itself, but if I searched for it, the first result showed me the Title, the URL, a few quick links to submenus, and a search box. I typed the term I wanted to know in the box and the “Search urbandicionary.com” button lead me to a list of searching results; I still couldn’t see the full texts but 3 lines of explanation was good enough for me to understand the meaning of the vocab. Alternative is always good.
