I know you're not asking for advice, and I figure you're still working on it, but I'd be more likely to use something like this if it didn't only search for capitalized proper nouns. i.e., If "san antonio" or "set theory" generated links too. I wouldn't mind waiting a little longer for the script to do the extra work. http://www.golimojo.com/proxy.html?christiansands.livejourna...

It's not strictly limited to proper nouns -- try "jury nullification" or "obfuscated code" for example. However, if the matching title is a proper noun, it requires exact case match. This is a side-effect of relying heavily on case for matching in order to prevent accidental or overzealous matches. This is in fact a fairly thorny problem, at least without some sort of semantic parser.
hm... okay i typed a few more into the same link and it picked up a couple... i just figured it was only proper nouns b/c those worked every time. thanks...
