I haven't heard many requests for this sort of feature. And while it's
interesting, my inclination is to aim for the smallest necessary changes
in the production branch. So I'd hesitate to include an optional database
like this. (It's not that your code looks bad on a read-through, but there
may be unforseen bugs.)

So I would point it towards the 3.2 branch as a possibility.

I'm also not sure if this could be better done with a wrapper around
htsearch and a separate CGI to retrieve your "suggested links" (even
something in Perl would seem to work well).
