Yeah. I am doing some investigations about that, I love that too. And I was watching that with n-grams you get a filter to stop common words, and could be used as a stemming-like algorithm but independent from the language. I was thinking to implement this http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users%40sqlite.org/msg26923.html when I finish up some things.
