This concept of thesaurus like searching isn't 
new, but it's interesting that Google is adding 
it. I believe Edna has used this strategy for a 
few years now. If Evan is around over the 
holidays or others from Edna itself, they'll know.

I'm going to try the timeline one. I have often 
wished there was a 'sort by date' function in 
google. But since not all pages have embedded 
date info, that may be difficult to get accurately.
