Yes, tag clouds.

I've implemented them using Lucene here for NRC Research Press articles:
http://lab.cisti-icist.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/ungava/Search?tagCloud=true&collection=jos&tagField=keyword&keyword=%22chromatin%22&numCloudDocs=200&numCloudTags=50&sortBy=relevance

and here on the Colorado State University Libraries' Catalog:
http://lab.cisti-icist.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/ungava01/Search?tagCloud=true&collection=csu&tagField=keyword&title=cell&numCloudDocs=200&numCloudTags=50&sortBy=relevance

As I use them for query refinement (click on the term & it is appended
to your existing query & you get new results), I call them "drill
clouds":
