keywords that match against the routing
      information in the email header: who it came from, who it is going to.
      The phone analogy is recipient and originating phone numbers.
      This cuts down on "noise". "Secret Power" gave examples of this too.

    o Search all traffic for a set of keywords that are found (tuned) over
      time to have the best results. SOME of the ones I used:

            first day
            last day
            resign
            new job
            resume
            interview
            drug test

It's ironic that drug testing of employees is so wide-spread that it can
be used to pick out people looking for new jobs.

    o Further exclusion logic (keywords) to isolate the meaning of the
      keyword 'resume' to mean job history. Also, UK people say 'CV'.
      Example: do NOT allow a sentence fragment like 'resume playing'
      to trigger "resume condition" inclusion.

That's how it is done.

I then sit at a terminal and page through a
summary of the results, looking for 'hits'.

That's how DICTIONARY works too.

And it's damn effective.

I could pick needles out of a haystack. I could find a 16-line Risk Management
report in Salomon's daily 150-230 megabytes of Internet email traffic. It took
only one word: 'risk', and lots of exclusion logic, because the word is used
lots. I had never seen that format of risk report before. It was incoming too.

It sure didn't look like much, but...
