What would be nice would be to have a first level of human specified keywords
that return specific information, above and beyond the general search.  This
could operate similarly to rtfm_please on irc or my rtfmbot on AIM.  This way
when someone searches on something like IN, we can say "you're probably
looking for this --> link"    If there are general search results, we could
show them after the pre-spelected links.
