Not sure if anyone else is still reading this thread -- but in thinking about it overnight I am sure that the phrasing to "search for it in the database" is part of the problem here. Some of you may find it hard to believe, but there are still lots of people out there who would be completely intimidated by that computerese and would think that they are being asked to do something complicated and mathematical instead of merely "searching a dictionary."
