A global search "recent history".  If you've used many Gnutella clients or
Direct Connect, you'll know that they have a list of recent search terms
that looks like this:

+--------------+------+
|  Term        | Num  |
+--------------+------+
| pizza        | 123  |
| hungry       | 34   |
| potato       | 3    |
| julienne     | 2    |
+--------------+------+

An anonymous frequency histogram is the idea.  That way, we can all
comment to each other later, "Heh, we seem to like pizza a lot."

The branden dodges your magical sigh. The branden attacks you with a
slew of words! The branden misses!
