Details

Misspelled Thunderbird as Thundrbird when doing a search, so that search ended blank. Google does some pretty nifty things like showing you the closest thing, or asking you if you meant "Thunderbird" instead. This might be complicated to fix, but cool.
One easy way would be to spellcheck the word and have a "did you mean ____?" link. That probably won't be as good as Google's system, which is really, really good at fixing spelling errors, but it would get us partway there.
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea!
