You might try "Starts With 'cat '" ... then it will delimit things  
quite a lot further.

Don't know where you'd get a downloadable thesaurus. I've not played  
with all the notions of synonyms, hierarchies yet. I'm still  
keywording for simple things like "where are all the photos I took at  
aviation museums in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005?" etc.

Simple sets do make sense to me ... say "<location>,<primary  
subject>,<secondary subject>" as one keyword set. E.g.: I have lots  
of pictures of trees, taken all over the world, so I typically  
keyword for 'tree', where in the world they are, and whether there is  
any other subject in the scene that I might want the photo for.
