Details

Say that I want to search for wayne but type wyane and end up in a no results page, it would be nice if the search page would tell me something like "no results found for wyane, did you mean wayne?" and I could click on wayne and get my results.
We can do an edit-distance pass against contact names as in your example, but we can't really do it against things in the fulltext index.

Can we do spell checking on the search query text? Search for "vancover" /Did you mean _"vancouver"_?/
