I use a package providing "imprecise citations". You cite like in
[. networks plan 9.]
and it locates a ref containing those words. I don't remember the package name,
I now the program I run is bib and that files use .ref suffixes that
must be indexed
with a program called "invert".

If that's not enough for you to locate the package, let me know and I'll look at
the man page/source to see if what is is.
