Google Cards for Sy**nyms and Antonyms
Google has a clever way to adapt the dictionary card (http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2013/08/google-updates-dictionary-onebox.html) based on your query. If you search for [work sy**nym (http://www.google.com/search?q=work+sy**nym)], Google only includes a list of sy**nyms for each meaning. When you search for [work antonyms (http://www.google.com/search?q=work+antonyms)], Google shows a list of antonyms for each meaning of the word. Expand the card to see all the definitions and to find more information about word, including etymology and use over time.

For some reason, when you search for sy**nyms, Google shows most definitions, so the dictionary card can become quite big if the word has a lot of meanings. Here's an example for "work", which shows the unexpanded card. As you can see, the card uses more space than the list of search results.
