Hello all,
I need to add functionality to a small ROR site that will take a keyword
as input and then use google (or another search engine) to find similar
phrases. So, for instance, if I searched for “soda”, it would return
“Coke, Pepsi, Cola, soft drink”, etc. Anybody have any idea how to start
on this one? I thought Google had some sort of related keyword-type
search a few years back, but I can’t seem to find it.
Get the Yahoo! toolbar and be alerted to new email wherever you’re
surfing.

Not sure if this will work with just a keyword (and not a block of
text), but maybe the Yahoo term extractor API?

Let us know when you figure something out. Would be useful to expand the
results of a fulltext search, for example.
