I'm with you - we've shown feasibility in large datasets with a lucene based approach, and I think we need to roll it out and test it with real users on real data. We need a new lucene index and a user interface (needs to be defined) suitable for average users to find useful. I'm thinking of a "browse related categories" type of function.
