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)

Regards,
