Here's what I'm thinking: My users create their own articles, but currently they have to choose from the menu what kind of article they want to write (FAQ, review, HOWTO, etc.). Is there a existing way for me to make Drupal automatically change the kind of category that the document is known as just by the keywords that they use in their subject heading?
So they start out just creating a standard document called "Article" (they don't choose FAQ, review, HOWTO). They type the words HOWTO: into the subject heading (HOWTO: create a widget). When they submit the document, can it be automatically categorized as a "HOWTO" document, rather than a generic "Article" document just based on their use of the term "HOWTO" in the subject heading?
Seems like this might take some work, but maybe there's some taxonomy thing that would allow this already.

A thought
It seems to me that having users pick from a list (taxonomy) is more reliable than having them type some keyword as part of the title, what if they mis-type the keyword in the title. While it is possible that they may forget to pick a term or pick the wrong one, when typing it as part of a title they would need to know the keywords. Also, there are a number of ways for displaying content based on the taxonomy terms.
I think this kind of
I think this kind of functionality would be excellent. In fact, I asked about it a couple of weeks ago. On encyclopedic sites that have large taxonomies that invite users to contribute, getting them to navigate long menus looking for the right category is really stretching most people's attention span. I adjusted the child term character in the menu from '-' to '----' just so that at least the child and parents can be more easily distinguished from each other. But ideally, it would be good if it could be categorised based on keywords. At the moment, my users have the option of not categorising the content and leaving it to the moderator, so if no keywords match (for spelling or other reasons), then it would be no more work than it already is now. But for those that can be automatically catalogued, then this would save everybody's time.
Also, on a related matter, I suggested that dependent menus could be used when nodes are categorised on the add page. For example, choosing a continent would bring up a list of relevant countries, clicking of which would bring up a list of relevant cities. This kind of nested menus would make it much easier to dig down quickly to the right category, simply because you have to look at 80% less irrelevant categories. This requires javascript, but not that much that it's likely to be heavy on server load.
