Hi All,

I did a small experiment with the exercise stated below.

My results are :

If you type "I'd like to see Bill Gates with Monica" and lookup Thesaurus
then you get same result.
In fact if you type just "I'd" even then the same phrase is returned.

This is probably because the thesaurus returns phrase with closest match
alphabetically.
So in the Alphabetical list that appears on the pop up of Thesaurus, we can
see that after
"ice-cream parlor" we don't have any entry starting as "i'd" ( or "i'e" for
that matter ) and anything that you type ( even "i'e" ) fetches "I'll drink
to that" as the corresponding phrase.

regards,
Vipul
