Expain Why the Minimum Number in a Word Has Been Raised to 4 When Doing a Serach?
That's why I always use the search that Gumbeaux devised ! Sometimes, I have to search among the results, but it has rarely failed me!

What is different in how these two words are stored?
No difference in the mechanics of how they are stored. There is should be a difference in the "context" in which they are "understood".

Why do five dictionary words require a 60MB Windows update?
If you think microsoft would only include a few dictionary words in their 60MB update - then I feel sorry for you. There is shit being installed you dont even know about all for "security" issues.

How to find high frequency words in a book in an environment low on memory?
OK, if you're only interested in the highest n occurring words, one way to do it is in two passes, with the first pass based on a modified Bloom Filter . Instead of using a bit map to track hash occurrences, use an integer array instead - either byte, 16 bit, 32 bit or even 64 bit depending on your input size. Where a Bloom filter simply sets the bit corresponding to each of the hash values of a word, you'll increment the count at the hash index in the array.
The problem with this approach is that two words will probably give the same hash values. So you need to do a second pass where you ignore words unless their hash totals are above a certain threshold, thus reducing the amount of memory you need to allocate to do accurate counting.
So just create a bit map with bits set for the highest occurring hash values. Then in the second pass of the words, if a word has "hits" in the bitmap for its hashes, look it up or add it to a hash table and increment its count. This minimises memory usage by creating a hash table of only the highest occurring words.

How many words in does your climax take place?
You guys reach the climax really early, percentage-wise of the novel. Is it really a climax if it lasts over half the book?
