"Tag cloud" and "relevance" features could be implemented at the same time.
Example:
Imagine you imported several documents dealing with some financial analysis, and put them in the "new documents" directory. Now you create search, tick "limit search to siblings" and tick the newly created "keyword frequency analysis" option. The search returns this list:
keyword frequency
dollar 1000
volatility 600
bond 300
market 200
price 100
...
By this search, I know what is the main topic the documents deal with. If I wanted to learn more about bonds, I'd click on "bond", this would perform the search on the same subset of documents, but with search string "bond", and the result would look like:
item frequency
Bond analysis.pdf 78
Capital markets.pdf 23
Fixed income products.pdf 20
...
So if I want to learn about bonds, the above documents would be probably the best candidates to start with ... without frequency, the search would return 20 documents that contain keyword "bond" maybe once, and I'd waste time opening each of them trying to see if I that is the document I need to learn about bonds
This is very primitive frequency analysis, easily implemented, ... maybe enough for the start. For the better search results, I decided to only link documents to UR, on which I can perform much more with SearchInform that includes morphology, exact, containing, phrase, ... search

I understand the concept but backing up to the step before importing to UR, when I search the internet, the results can be presented by relevance, i.e. 99% listed first, etc.
I'd just link/import to the first few documents assuming these would be the most relevant documents to import into UR.
If, however, what I get from the internet is not sorted by relevance then your relevance list is extremely useful.
Again, I repeat, I am not aginst this improvement. I'm just having an 'intellectual' discussion here.
But I would say in the scheme of things that UR needs, I don't think clouds should be higher in priority than other things..... IMO a global search ability across all open databases like Zoot would be one those things.
