Why search rhymes the way it does
Search sits on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, transcribed /ษหr/ in our engine, and lands on an affricate. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 55, assonance 2,033, and consonance 166. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Search rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
