1. A method for enabling a speech-based, Internet search for generating alternative web sites, comprising:
- generating a cohort in a cohort generation unit;
generating a language in a generation unit;
generating a merged grammar by combining the cohort and the language in a merging unit, wherein the cohort is a cohort probability indicating a number of times a word will occur in a first range, wherein the language is a language probability indicating a number of times a word will occur in a second range, the first range being greater than the second range.

18. A system for enabling a speech-based, Internet search for generating alternative web sites, comprising:
-
a cohort generator adapted to generate cohorts;
a language generator adapted to generate a language; and
a merging unit adapted to generate a merged grammar by combining the cohorts and the languages, wherein the cohort is a cohort probability indicating a number of times a word will occur in a first range, wherein the language is a language probability indicating a number of times a word will occur in a second range, the first range being greater than the second range. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A programmed medium for enabling a speech-based, Internet search for generating alternative web sites, adapted to:
-
generate cohorts in a cohort generating unit;
generate a language in a language generating unit; and
generate a merged grammar by combining the cohorts and language in a merging unit, wherein the cohort is a cohort probability indicating a number of times a word will occur in a first range, wherein the language is a language probability indicating a number of times a word will occur in a second range, the first range being greater than the second range. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
