I'm certain there has to be a module that does this but I am not sure of the right one.

I am looking for something where Drupal will automatically add a link to a node or external URL based on a keyword found in the text. Similar to glossary, except its just sending directly to a node or link. So if someone just said "Google" it would automatically create a link to Google, for instance. Or if I am running a site about apples and the text on the page said "fuji apple" it would go to the fuji apple node defined by me.

thanks for the help!

http://drupal.org/project/glossary
I'd just fork that one to add external links.

Another one that does a similar but limited function (but good for code example) is Replace.
That one only does it for one group of words, but I could see someone extending that.

Freelinking http://drupal.org/project/freelinking
Title http://drupal.org/project/title
and likely others do similar things but not as automatically.

I don't think anything _exactly_ like that you describe exists, yet... all of the existing modules or input filters are either brackets/wiki triggered, or don't allow universal linking to anywhere.

Do you know of an example to point to a particular node with glossary? I'm not certain of the procedure where I could insert links for certain keywords or nodes.

thanks for pointing the way, maybe someone could combine the input filter features to make a module that does exactly what I was describing.
