I've been searching the Cocoa documentation pages on extending and

the Dictionary application. An API that finds words using a soundex-
type function would be nice. That, plus a plugin method to add a UI
item similar to "Dictionary" and "Thesaurus" would be ideal.
It's off at a tangent to your question, but I have written a nice
NSString category for matching strings based on Soundex and Jaro-
Winkler distances that works quite nicely. It only compares single
strings rather than search against a list of words, but it's a step in
the right direction.
If you're interested in it I can post it.
