An interesting challenge.

The "See also" documentation is generated by finding all programs in the 
same group (the "groups:" application attribute in the ACD file).

These are classified as Nucleic:Motifs and Protein:Motifs so they are 
currently kept apart. We'll have a look and see if a general "regular 
expression search" (or similar) group would be useful ... and similar 
general groups for other applications.
