AltaVista does seem to be the most brute force method
of searching. One can add synonyms as another table to
the previous description. So, each leaf in the tree points
to both a HTML/URL table and a synonym/related info table.
Also, one can weight the ordering of the HTML/URL's any way
you'd like so I think the accuracy criteria could be supported.
Don't really know what they do though in the real code.
