Here are some ideas for the search space problem:

1. Do it in the cloud somewhere. You probably want to do this anyway so you can learn from everyone.

2. Now you can't indefinitely keep everyone's code in the cloud (as kite is learning), so you take the most common use cases and privacy minded coders can download those to their desktop.

3. Of course languages are constantly evolving so the "cloud archive" will always be live and learning from everyone

By the way, you would "learn" a mapping when someone searches for "len, length, .len" and so on but they finally settle on "size" so you would have the input and the correctly labeled target from people's code. You do have to watch them programming in practice though.

For the subtle variations, it would hopefully give you a list of suggestions in order of usage.
