What's the failure?
There is a builtin alarm() call that prevents any search from taking more
than 5 minutes. But this is pretty unlikely unless you're searching for a
very frequent word on a very overtaxed box (i.e. you're swapping).
IMHO, it's a good idea to put very common words in the bad_words list
because they won't give much information to a query. (Realistically, how
useful is it to include "the" in an English query?)
