Interesting -- I was thinking recommendations from your actual local
corpus, but from Identities/Terminologies might be even better -- but is
there any way for the system to pre-warn you whether that particular
Author or Term is actually found in the local corpus, to prevent you
from clicking on it and getting 0 hits?

I don't claim that the interface is very pretty, and the terminologies results are sometimes rather weird due to the lack of relevance ranking -- but hopefully this serves as a test of concept, and feedback is welcome.
