The thing I really don't like is the idea of people picking their own
keywords. That was tried with HTML meta tags. People who want
their information viewed (the entire marketing industry) have a vested
interest in puting in every single popular keyword whether it relates
to their info or not. This problem is greatly reduced, although not
eliminated, by searching on the name of the file. Also with user
defined keywords, you have to concern yourself with plurals and other
forms of root words. If a document is listed under the keyword "cars"
and a user searches for "car", they won't find it.
