Examples

●“Mexaco” => “Did you mean...Mexico?”

●“Javasript” => “Did you mean... Javascript”

●“frehman” => “Did you mean...freeman”

●“flod” => “Your search for flod in keywords returned 12 result(s).”

●“Cailfornia” => “Your search for cailfornia in keywords returned 1 result(s).”


	So....we get good suggestions for the first two.
	The third...will depend on whether I intended to spell “freshman” or “freeman”...ostensibly the latter word is more common in the index.
	The fourth...well here’s where the problems with multilingual environments crops up. Valid word in several nordic languages.
	And the fifth....this is an issue with very large document sets...there will be misspellings, which are indexed just like any other word.
