Anyone can already enable this feature easily in own init file with:

(when (require 'dictem nil t)
  ;; (setq dictem-server "dict.org")
  ;; (setq dictem-server "mova.org")
  (setq dictem-server "localhost")
  (setq dictem-port   "2628")
  (dictem-initialize)
  (global-set-key "\M-s\M-d" 'dictem-run-search))
