I think Drupal built-it search needs the did you mean ability.

I mean if you try to use the Google or YouTube, you will find a feature called did you mean. It suggests a word that is close to the word that you search for. For example:-

If I type tailloring in the search box, I will get a message look like this -> Did you mean: tailoring ?

Wouldn't it be nice if we can have one like this?

It's best made as a module

I believe we need a module that indexes CCK fields before such a feature. Because almost all drupal projects use CCK somehow but we still don't have a proper way to search those fields

Already done for D7:

Maybe someone could back-port it to D5/D6?

Anyone implemented / implementing / would like to implement this feature on Drupal 6?

If not, would anyone do it as a (paid?) project? As we would love to see this feature on our platform we may consider outsourcing it as a paid work and upload it back to the community. Anyone willing to join?

Thanks,
Tomer
