Steps to reproduce:

-Install xfce4-dict, don't change any settings
-Search for "bread"
-Search for "throw"

Actual results: 

-gcide definitions are on top of the list.
-the first two gcide definitions for "bread" are for the uncommon verb form of the word. 
-the first two gcide definitions for "throw" are for the uncommon noun form of the word. 

Expected results:
 
-WordNet definitions are on top of the list
-WordNet gives a shorter list of definitions, and the first definitions are for the most commonly used forms of "bread" and "throw"
-the longer list of gcide definitions are available just below WordNet definitions

Additional Information: 

-Version 0.7.0

It is the way the server returns the results. Just try it on dict.org and see. xfce4-dict doesn't do much processing here, and from what I've seen it would be difficult to implement. Closing won't fix.
