Could it just search through the module->description strings? most of
the keywords will already be in there, & if not probably should be.
Adding keywords to every single module is a lot of work...

An exception might be where only one of Delaunay/Voronoi is mentioned in
the description, but I guess you could always rewrite the line it if
need be.


e.g. Debian's "apt-cache search foo" works on the included 2-3 sentence
descriptions.
