Yes and no. The PFAF and Eden engines have very different formats so
itis the sort of thing that would have to be set up. Here is an
example of both of them looking for woodland:

<http://www.ibiblio.org/pfaf/cgi-bin/find_gen?WORD=woodland&CAN=can>

<http://permaculture.info/cgi-bin/eden?search=woodland&button=Search+PIW>

So I see. PFAF's tables are convenient and quick but I like having much more
text description
(and pictures?) accompanying each plant's record. Is there any way to give
each plant listed
in the search results a PIW Rating (like the PFAF Rating) which I assume is a
system that rates each
item returned in the search results according to how closely it matches the
search string?
