For some specialized applications, you can also use a lexicon to create this 
type of functionality.  For example, if you have a list of popular terms that 
people search for, you can grab their query text, do a lexicon match lookup 
(cts:element-value-match et al) on the query text to find all of the close 
matches, and then pick one or all of those matches as possible "did you mean" 
alternatives.  You could also combine this approach with the spelling 
correction functionality and/or the thesaurus functionality to expand the 
possible matches.

The possibilities are endless....

Hi, Judie,

You may benefit from reading section 16 of Search Developer's 
Guide<http://xqzone.com/pubs/4.1/books/search-dev-guide.pdf> on "Using the 
Spelling Correction Functions" because I think that's the API you're looking 
for.

Best,
Shannon

Hi,
We are developing a search application in Marklogic where we need to implement 
a similar functionality like "Did you mean?"(google). As per my understanding 
there is no built in function available in Marklogic(Correct me if i am wrong). 
Is there any way we can achieve this?
 Any suggestion will be helpful.
Thanks,
Judie
