As is always the case, it depends...in this case, on how you structure the
nominal choices:

Foods'RUs.com navbar ->

Fruits * Vegetables * Bakery * Meats * General

Find "Apple"
Find "Bacon"
Find "Floor plan"

#1 and #2 are easy because they are obvious. #3 is also obvious because of
the way the navbar is set up.

But, for a tall glass of cold dark beer, I can come up with a spread of
navbar choices that would confuse even a subject expert. Of course, instead
of doing all the guessing, I might prefer a simple search box that knew the
difference between an apple and a screwdriver.:-)
