"Today Altavista rolled out a shiny new query refinement system, codenamed 'Prisma.' By giving users an assortment of possible query expansions, they're hoping to close the search loop which usually ends either in success or complete failure"

Try it for ego-surfing, some results are a bit strange ("religious science"?) but the overall quality of proposed keywords is rather good.
