Instead of "overriding" the trigram approach you may want to do a
combination. That is create trigrams out of the list of words from the
dictionary and weigh the matches much higher than those coming from the
index or even have a first dictionary exact lookup and then a trigram/index
based lookup if it fails.

Now, SpellChecker use the trigram algorithm to find similar words. It
works well for keyboard fumbles, but not well enough for short words
and for languages like french where a same sound can be wrote
differently.
Spellchecking is a classical computer task, and aspell provides some
nice and free (it's GNU) sound dictionary. Lots of dictionary are
available.
I did a python parser which write translation code in different
languages : python, php and java. A bit like snowball stuff.
Few works will be done to generate lucene compliant code. But is the
python generator is well enough to Lucene, or a translation must be
done in Java to put it in Lucene source?

I'll start soon a PhonemeSpellChecker wich overide the trigram
SpellChecker.

Next step is to implement word cutter, just like Google suggest.

Any suggestions?
