In order for you to get this working, you'll need to understand how
Google does it and once you understand it, it may be difficult to
implement.

As I understand it, Google uses the history of queries to generate
word frequencies and then somehow "connect" the misspelt word to the
correct spelling based on the history of use of the misspelt word.

For example, if the misspelt word "cfuery" has a high frequency of
occurrence in previous queries and they had determined it was possible
misspelling for "cfquery", then they would suggest it. Otherwise, if
the misspelt word had a low frequency of occurrence, they wouldn't
suggest it.
