Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

Matches patterns against a dictionary of words and phrases mined from Wikipedia. Text is normalized to lowercase letters, numbers and spaces. More common results are returned first.

Syntax

• a-z, 0-9, space - literal match
• [], (), {}, |, ., ?, *, + - same as regexp
• "expr" - forbid word breaks without a space or hyphen
• expr&expr - both expressions must match
• <aaagmnr>, <(gram)(ana)> - anagram of contents (note warnings)
• _ (underscore) - alphanumeric, not space: [a-z0-9]
• # (number sign) - digit: [0-9]
• - (hyphen) - optional space: ( ?)
• A - alphabetic: [a-z]
• C - consonant (including y)
• V - vowel ([aeiou], not y)

Examples

• "C*aC*eC*iC*oC*uC*yC*" - facetiously
• 867-#### - for a good time call
• "_ ___ ___ _*burger" - lol
