This is something I really get excitied about - Microsoft Semantic Search. There is an excellent PDC demo and presentation here - http://microsoftpdc.com/Sessions/SVR32.
Intially I didn't think this was SQL related but I read that it may be included in future versions of SQL Server.
For many years I have written linguistic, semantic, text extraction & clustering code in SQL Server for fun - now finally I can throw that all away and use this tool :)
It reminds me of the Microsoft Research project called Stuff I've Seen by Susan Dumais, paper here http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/sdumais/siscore-sigir2003-final.pdf
