Suggestions Plugin by Kevin Shay

Suggestions is a plugin by Kevin Shay, written during the 2006 GlobalMTHackathon. It is intended to simplify the process of categorizing and tagging your entries. Presumably, when you write an entry to which you want to assign certain categories or tags, some of those terms (the tag names and category labels) will appear in the entry title or text. Suggestions looks for your tag names or category labels within the text, and assigns tags or categories accordingly.
Suggestions is a Transformer plugin that implements two new links on the Edit Entry screen. When the plugin is installed, above the Tags field you'll see a "Suggest Tags" link, and above the Category menu you'll see a "Suggest Categories" link. When you click on either of these links, Suggestions will send the current text of your entry (Title, Entry Body, and Extended Entry) to a script which will look in the text for the names of all the tags or categories that are currently in the system, and assign tags or categories accordingly (you have to save the entry for the tags or categories to be saved). It's not case-sensitive, and it will look for whole words only; for example, if you have a tag called "election" an entry containing "selection" will not be tagged with it.
Latest version: 0.2. (This functionality may actually be folded into a more ambitious plugin I've been working on, so Suggestions itself might never reach 1.0.)
