  If egg plant is wrong (and I'm happy to accept that it is - I'm English, I was translating aubergine to North American and failing...) then it shouldn't show me results for it and it certainly it shouldn't show the results for egg without saying "did you mean..." at the very least. As you say that's a relatively easy fix (and one that should be made) but I think there is still a deeper underlying issue with the data. I agree that the eggplant list is lots better (though still includes kosher salt, water, vegetable oil and a load of other meaningless things) but my issues about the data returned for egg is still valid - I don't care about half of the list whether it's for egg, eggplant or something else altogether. It all comes back to the same overall point - the data is mined and needs some serious work to make it useful. The occasional oddity is one thing but there are too many here. I'm not saying I don't like the idea, I do, and I don't think the work needed is major, it's just that I don't think it's something that should be released in it's current form.

    Which suggests that aubergine should be added as a common alias for eggplant and that courgette should be added for zucchini ;)
