This is the Whirlword Dictionary of Idioms and Compound Words.
Visit the Blog (musings about words, lyrics, and other writings) or go to the search page.

From the search page you can search the Idiom dictionary and Slang dictionary by words within the idiom.

This link functions also as an Idiom Thesaurus as each entry displays related Idioms in addition to a definition of the idiom and Examples of usage.

You can optionally search for words within any of the entries (including examples and definitions of all idioms); this allows you to do a reverse search i.e. given a definition, find idioms with that definition.
