I have implemented a number of search engines/index generators and I
don't quite understand what you wish to have as your index terms. Would
you take a moment and create the index terms from your request? It would
appear long enought to have "interesting" terms, and such a list would
illustrate just what you are trying to accomplish. 

Don't forget, the search engine user must be able to recreate the
process or have the search engine do it for him from his input in order
to have matches.

The remainder of this text is to satisfy the requirement of my news
posting program that there be more response text than included text. I
personally find this to be an offensive requirement, but I have no
choice in the matter since I do not maintain the news reader code.


More intelligent features like similarity of strings (words in a
different order, part of speech or having a good proportion of the
words), and perhaps even ascertaining meaning would be nice, but not
required.

Unix would be helpful (it can prolly be able to achieve this on one
command line?) or an MS-DOS or Windows (3.1, 95 or NT) utility would
be fantastic!
