You already have a built-in thesaurus, so why not find (a) similar terms based on the thesaurus and (b) gimme an outline of terms by frequency in sentences which contain those terms. I simply mean: (1) I search for the term “religion” in the Content-Analysis view. (2) It searches for “religion” and finds, say 20 sentences. A sub-analysis loop runs, using the terms in those 20 sentences, and finds “priest” and “economics” as the top 2 co-existing terms surrounding “religion.” Perhaps there are others too, like “alienation” and “political.” (3) I then get a sidebar-outline of these terms in the structure of the paper: Chapter 1: (page 4) [Religion::priest] ..Sentence.. Chapter 4: (page 89) [Religion::politics::economics] ..sentence.. (page 94) [Religion::priest::alienation] ..sentence.. I’m sure you get the picture; these would be visually correlated with the length of the document. This would drastically aid in research-work. Especially if these "hits" could be associated/turned into "annotations" or some other idea of "key terms."
Yes, might be a nice feature, but for normal office work not very important.
Oh sure, "normal office work" wouldn't so often need this, except when the legal document is long. My use-case is academia, which does this sort of thing all day long. Forgetting that user-base is frankly a mistake.
