they probably create a list of similar results by doing some sort of data mining on the search criteria that people use in succession, so for example someone, or they have a list of searches that are too general (a search for the word kid is at best stupid) but you can't call your users stupid so you try to guess what they're searching for based on other searches conducted (kid rock, kid games, star wars kid, karate kid ) that contain the initial search string "kid". You can use fuzzy search in Lucene, but that won't do that really, the short answer is DIY depending on your needs.
