Arjit, your question is something like this: There is a building on fire. Show me how to put out the fire using this glass of water. First, what makes you believe that a query that achieves an order of 1,2,3,4 would be in any way useful for anything else, ever?? In other words, you have a huge problem and four data points. Seriously, look at using an ngram index for this sort of task. But you will need to educate yourself on what an n-gram is and how to use them effectively. There are lots of resources at your fingertips. I think you want to bring a fire-truck to the fire, not a glass of water.
