What would be nice would be to have a first level of human specified keywords 
that return specific information, above and beyond the general search.  This 
could operate similarly to rtfm_please on irc or my rtfmbot on AIM.  This way 
when someone searches on something like IN, we can say "you're probably 
looking for this --> link"    If there are general search results, we could 
show them after the pre-spelected links.
