To add to other comments: This functionality should also look at how common a term is in the corpus. Using the corpus as "correct" set of terms to search on isn't always what you want if the corpus is unclean (misspellings, etc.)
I believe this is why if you search on an uncommon term, Google will try to suggest something more common, even if you spelled the term correctly.
