The archives will have at least one email explaining some parts of the
questions you have raised. I hope you have had the chance to look
through them. I'd say that the system does not specifically
"determine" the question. The user can use the input area to provide a
string to query upon, it may be the form of a question or, it may be a
fragmented word. Whether your proposal would convert the user input
into a query to map to a pre-existing query is something you should
look at. Earlier in the conversation with others on this project, I
had mentioned that the constraints of a FAQ like system will
potentially devalue this implementation.
