You have put your finger on a big problem, that of "absurd searches" which
return unreasonably large numbers of hits.
However, I don't believe that you will be able to come up with a rule that
will exclude a given search as "absurd" before the fact.
This means that we have to handle absurd searches in a graceful way.
I don't have a solution to this though the direction to go might be
that nodes that match a search are less likely to pass the search on.
