I was thinking of something simple like, when you press C-s, it'd popup
an entry that you could type text in.  As you type in the text, it would
search the model for text relating to that (I'm not 100% sure what the
best behavior here is -- we can discuss it though.)  I think the best
way to approach the problem is to get something started and refining it
until it works well.

Thanks for looking into this,
