Hi folks,

I'm using Whoosh and Django-Haystack. I would like to make use of query suggestions for when users mistype words.

e.g. Maybe you meant "unicorn"


Is it necessary to use another search engine? Or can I successfully achieve this with Whoosh?

A: 

I have no experience with Whoosh, but comparing edit distance and rolling your own wouldn't be too complex, if necessary.

Haystack lets you enable spelling suggestions, and that does work with Whoosh.
