This is not solvable on a global deskbar level. But can be solved by individual modules. In the days before we joined Gnome we did native stemming, but it turned out to be a bottle neck. One of deskbar's prime features are the near-instant searches, and that should be kept as a higher goal than spelling corrections I think. Cheers, Mikkel
