It would be really nice if the dictionary supported some kind of subject or topic tags. Something that would allow me to see all the language bits that are associated with a topic. For example if I go to the dictionary and search for "array" you get back encode and decode array - useful, but it would be nice to see all the other things that relate to working with arrays - spilt, combine, the boolean things, etc.
It would make it much easier for people learning the language to look things up - right now you need to have some idea of what you are looking for before you can look for it in a lot of cases (another example is all the database stuff - sometimes it's revdb, sometimes it has the word database actually in it...)

Bjorn's tool is great, and I have been using it for a while. I am just thinking more as a nice addition to the standard dictionary for the (hopefully) huge number of new users that the open source version of livecode will have it would nice to have an additional layer of curated taxonomy on top of the existing features of the dictionary.
