    But google has this Did you mean option so if somebody typed a misspelled world s/he get prompted by it and so click the suggested (correct) spelling therefore changing the results. Maybe this has worked before but now it’s not really effective.

      Hi Nievo,

      I think I understand what you are trying to say, and yes Google do correct most spelling mistakes but not all spellings are corrected. Therefore, by attempting to fill this gap and being proactive more than reactive any results is better than no results.

      Kind regards
