Another consideration is meaning based upon context in which word/phrases
appear, for example tree:bark vs. dog:bark or drug:crack vs. drywall:crack.
As others have noted, this is a sophisticated capability to implement. For
similar project need, my team ended up with a commercial search product
capable of performing semantic-based 'entity extraction'.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Automatically linking wiki words
Is there a way to automatically link the wiki words in an article? i.e.
suppose in an article, there may be words like "open source" or
"software"
for which articles are there in the wiki.
Currently we have to manually
link
them like [[open source]] or [[software]]. But
most of the cases, the
author
may not be knowing whether that article exists or
not, or there may be
case
inconsistencies. Is it possible to automatically
link the words or
phrases
that has an entry in the page table as titles?
Regards,
Jack

This could probably be done as an extension, however the only way I can
envisage it being done would use a tremendous amount of resources. In many
wikis the page table is huge, so it would take literally hours.
Although this seams like a good idea on the face of it, you might end up
with entire paragraphs where every word is a wiki link (this, of course,
depends on the wiki). This would have to be done as an extension and could
only work on a small subset of wikis.
