Please implement search/suggest-as-you-type into GNOME Dictionary.

Sometimes you use it to lookup a word you don't know the meaning of.

But sometimes you use a dictionary to;
* Look up a word you don't know the spelling of.
* Learn new words.

I suggest to add 'suggest-as-you-type' to Dictionary.
Anyone who used quicksearch-bar in Firefox to search Google or Wikipedia knows what I am talking about.

Example, you start typing "fre" and it suggests relevant words that start with those letters, such as "freak, free, freedom", etc.
