I was thinking more of a manual process, being constructed as people attempt
to find something using some keyword or phrase to find something in J.
Automated processes have a hard time figuring out or second guessing what a
person is looking for. In my example there are probably other tools in J
that could relate to indexing. But maybe this list below is a little too
much. I don't know. But I found the difficult way to search for something on
the tip of my tongue but wouldn't come out.
