Hugo,
You're really asking for two things:
1) A comprehensive indexed archive of a significant portion of the
available Linux documentation. This is already being developed at:
http://www.linuxkb.org/
2) A "real language" parser to interface to that above database. This is
*very* difficult to do and is rather expensive to purchase. M$ for
example licensed the Ask Jeeves technology from them to power their own
knowledge base rather than try to develop their own. If you know of any
OSS projects that are trying to duplicate this or know of a company
willing to trade promotional sponsorship for that technology, please
either tell me or have them contact me! Of course if you're serious about
writing your own, let me know- we'd love to have you on our team.
