By default, when you use Smart Lookup, it shows the Explore tab, which includes a Bing image search, a web search and an Explore Wikipedia search. The pane is divided into two tabs at the top - Explore and Define. (In Word 2016 this is called the Insights pane, while in Word 2019 it’s the Smart Lookup pane, but they work the same way.) Microsoft says that Smart Lookup uses the context around the words, not only the words themselves, to give you more relevant results. Word then uses Microsoft’s Bing search engine to do a search on the word or phrase and displays the results in the a pane that appears on the right side of the screen.

Right-click a word, or highlight a group of words and right-click them, and from the menu that appears, select Smart Lookup.
