[Sigia-l] Gimpsy Nat Lang Search

[Avi Rappoport]

I hope it's useful, the implementations I've seen have failed to 
scale to really large or generic systems.  Much easier to apply to a 
single domain of knowledge, such as using a CAD program than to the 
variety of human information seeking!  It's also language dependent, 
not exactly global or webwide...
