"google-known" spellchecking features
There is more to Google's "Did you mean?" functionality that meet the
eyes...
In any case, you could get started by visiting WordNet [1] for some raw
data. Figuring out how to tokenize your query would help. Then you
could try to get familiar with some word transformation/similarity
algorithms (e.g. Metaphone, Stemmer, Levenshtein Distance and such).
And finally put it all together by looking at how jazzy [2] or such
does it.
Good luck. You will need it.
Cheers,

P.S.
A traditional database, with EOF or not on top of it, is most likely
not going to cut it for such an endeavor.
