I'd think it would be hard to gather a list of meaningful terms from the current hit that are meaningful to the user. It would seem that an alias expansion on the origional searh experssion, or possibly even a collection of terms (of the most common terms in the document we're looking for documents like) after going through a stop word analyzer or something. I've not implmented anything like this. Just a few thoughts.
