You can also select one or more words from the document, right click and select "Research" from the menu.
The sidebar includes the top Google search results, image search
results, facts, maps, reviews and famous quotes. Click the icon from the

When you mouse over a Web search results, you can preview it, insert a link or cite it. For example, you can select "Google" from a document, press Ctrl+Alt+R, mouse over the top result and click "insert link" to add a link to Google's homepage.

Maybe Google will also add features like translation and definitions to the research sidebar, so you can quickly find them.
