I am fairly impressed by the results for 'D'. It's just right to ask the  
user what he/she meant exactly and not print a list of 10000000 results  
for everything with D in the text. In that sense it is much like the  
disambiguation on Wikipedia (probably inspired by that?).

What puzzles me is how they generate the one line description. It's not a  
copy from Wikipedia as far as I can tell. Do they have little monkeys that  
write descriptions for everything on the planet?
