hmmm.. I think I was not clear in my previous post.  Well.. what I meant
by "Dictionary search" was:

	* search the "beagle-backend" for the "synonyms" of the user entered
"query word".

	For example:  "There has been a serious debate/disagreement on a
particular feature being implemented in a tool and lot of mails, docs,
chat logs are available as a record.  Now, if user wants to search on it
and he doesn't know the exact word but knows to the extent that 'there
was a debate/dispute'.".

	In such scenarios, he can very well say "dispute" and select
"Dictionary search" and he gets a hit list that satisfies:

	* Docs, mails, chat-logs, web pages, etc., that contain the keyword
"dispute" or "debate" or "disagreement" or "quarrel" or "argumentation"
or "discussion" etc.

Maybe that the example that I stated above is not good, but, I just
wanted to explain what I meant by "Dictionary" search.
