DB Vista is an associative database. Is this also an associative database? Specifically, can I give n search keys (where n is some reasonable number less than 15) and it will produce a hit frequency ordered list of matches? I used DB Vista to implement a technical support database for a previous employer some 7-8 years ago, and after rewriting all the error messages to provide keywords in the product, it really sped support and reduced phone time. One thing that DB Vista also let me do is hit-frequency sort the problem soloution pairs within each set of equal hitcounts so that the first thing the technical support operator gave them was the most frequent soloution to the problem/key set.
