Am I missing something or is there no spell checking for search queries? For example, when I search for “pustgres” here, I get no matches instead of a helpful “Did you mean ‘postgres’”. Such a feature seems easy to implement using the Levenshtein algorithm but the simple implementation wouldn’t scale too well.
