Another good idea! Especially for theological synonyms and related  
topics (e.g. blood and sacrifice)

By the way, did you know that Lucene allows for "fuzzy" searches?

Try searching for:
melchesidec~

The tilde on the end indicates to the lucene search engine to do a  
fuzzy approximation of the word. Not exactly sure what algorithm it  
uses, but it will find things that you don't know how to spell.
