Default Macbook pro 10.8 dictionary widget not working?

[Jordan B]

I use the default dictionary widget within dashboard a lot. Recently, for some reason i don't know, it has stopped working. I can enter a word, press return and it replies with,"Could not be found." The other dictionary widgets by apple just don't do the job offline like the default widget. What's the issue, I've tried researching but can't find a simple solution. It's become bothersome and irritating can someone clear this up. Thanks
