Oh, you mean using the wikislice technology to build a snapshot of the
dictionary data from wiktionary, rather than the wikipedia data?  That's
an interesting idea.

Yes, they do; when you run the Wikipedia activity, there's a search
toolbar that searches against the local index.  (You might be confusing
the Wikipedia activity with some hand-made Wikislice HTML content
bundles that SJ made quite a while ago.)
