I used super search and googled thepen. The problem with such a search is the keywords: I used "test" and not "check," and "presence" or "exists" and not "installed".

... which is why I said "*If* you haven't already" tried supersearch ... just like you, I noticed the keyword disparity and I did not automatically assume you had overlooked supersearch.

As far as your observations on SOPW organization and English synonyms, my initial response to you was specifically intended to address those (percieved) problems.

How?

Well you see, now there is a new node that contains *all* of the different keywords in one place. It patches the 'keyword gap'. That's how humans like you and me can help make SuperSearch and Google even better.

Of course there are many other synonyms out there that remain "unconnected", but that's the name of the game ...

Wash, Rinse, Repeat.
