Out of the box the Suggester componenent provides a set of Lookup implementation to look for the suggestions from the dictionary selected. Most of the suggestion lookups are FST based ( except the Analysing Infix one , that relies on an external auxiliary Lucene Index) .
Depending on your requirement you should customise the lookUp implementation to score the suggestions taking in consideration the distance. Customising the "Auxiliary Lucene Index " based look up strategies would be easier. Playing with the FST look up would be much more complicated.
