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.

Would be useful to expand the results of a fulltext search, for example.
