Could you elaborate? Do you have a specific query method in mind?

I'm only vaguely familiar with the spell checker internals, but AFAIK, OOo
itself is rather agnostic about the exact algorithm used to come up with
similar words - that's an implementation detail of the checker engine
used. For OOo, that would be aspell, for SO, one out of several commercial
products.

Note: your question might reach a wider audience on the OOo developer
lists ([email protected] and [email protected], for
that matter).

HTH,
