Details

I just spent the last 7 or so submits trying to cc marcia, and assign to justdave. first i botched justdave who is not @mozilla.org, but mozilla.com then it turns out i typed macria@moz, i tried fixing it to macrcia@moz, but that didn't work, i kept trying to change the username but it took me a number of attempts to before i noticed that i had transposed the c. expected results: selecting justdave@mozilla.org should yield: could not find justdave@mozilla.org, did you mean justdave@mozilla.com? logic used: corrections should be as few changes as possible to yield a result. changing the tld should be considered more optimal than changing the host even though org=>com is 3 letters and mo=>bug is 2.5 letters. macria@moz to => marcia@moz is a single transposition (and all other transpositions of macria fail to yield any results). incomplete bits (@moz isn't a valid host according to our rules) should be assumed to be correctly typed. order of operations: 1. work from right to left 2. try transpositions 3. try wild matches results should only be given if they yield a very small answer (not more than 3).
