------------------------------------

Hi,

Thanks for that.  Covers my questions nicely.

bq. The idea here isn't to solve the world's spellchecking problems, its mainly 
to get rid of the extra index.

Yes definitely.   I was just checking that we weren't doing that at a cost of 
reasonable suggestions.  But your argument makes clear sense.  

This really is a great feature.

> The current spellchecker makes an n-gram index of your terms, and queries 
> this for spellchecking.
> The terms that come back from the n-gram query are then re-ranked by an 
> algorithm such as Levenshtein.
> Alternatively, we could just do a levenshtein query directly against the 
> index, then we wouldn't need
> a separate index to rebuild.
