The trouble with this approach is that when the input term is
something like 'pabulum' (means 'food', apparently), none of the terms
in the list start with that term.  With the above solution, you'll get
the beginning of the list, but Oliver stated he wanted the terms that
follow the input term alphabetically (i.e. wants 'pace' etc. to
show).

Cheers,

Jeni
