"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,

PA.

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.
