Re: search labels

Al,

These can indeed be very useful, for grammatical variations that not 
handled in other ways, as well as for misspellings. The name of the 
property might be a bit confusing however, as of course other kinds of 
labels are also used in searching. As you say, the key defining factor is 
that these alternative labels would not be displayed under normal 
circumstances. So perhaps call it noDisplayLabel or hiddenLabel (or 
something more elegant along those lines)?
