And that's one of the things I like about Sonar. It allows synonyms, which
can be canned or built ad hoc, as well as the usual "this word within x
words of that word" and other little twists on the topic.

(Note to the cynical: I have no connection with Virginia Systems, except as
a customer. I've used their stand-alone product for years.)

Have fun,
