run with a single dictionary and provide default search term

ah, i just saw #30. switching back to :default input to :input input in this case seems to work.

let binding helm-maybe-use-default-as-input from my caller function doesn't seem to work but maybe i can live with that.

now i wonder how i can hand helm-dictionary my query string surrounded by \b to narrow the search down, as concatenating converts the \b to ^H, which returns zero results.

Perhaps you just have to use \\b when concatenating?

that works! thanks.

i also asked helm about the use of :resume. it would be great if it would work without an input, as then the performance issue re loading lots of dictionaries each time would be solved, but alas, thierry says it can't be done.

an updated version of my modified helm-dict is here:

works for me: when i'm viewing results in emacs-leo i can now instantly run helm-dictionary with just one dictionary enabled and search for the same term.
