We present here a prototype Web search engine with 1) a fuzzy lexical access to the list of simple and compound indexing terms, 2) a simplified, symmetric and powerful statistical expansion dialogue, 3) a cartographic applet for analyzing and browsing the results, 4) a multilingual and multiwritings extension, based on a N-grams coding scheme. The neural mapping algorithm, as well as the statistical expansion process, lean on a mathematically clean and consistant background (Hellinger metrics and i. d. f. weighting).
