As a suggestion: why not build that with a spelling checker instead of Ferret?
I believe there's free services around for that, not to mention aspell on the console if you're running this on a *nix. You could then rebuild the sentence with the output of the spelling checker, and build a link with it that you can present to the user. Strikes me as easier than building the words index yourself.
