Hi Tim, I think the idiomatic way is to use the spelling suggestion functions (see https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/search-dev/spelling), so you can run the search with the input itself, or with a suggested correction, and present the user with something like Google does: "do you mean foobar instead?" (with the corresponding results)
