First here is what my implementation looks like: //Each word becomes a single Lucene Document //To find suggestions: FuzzyQuery fquery = new FuzzyQuery(new Term("word", word)); Hits dicthits = dictionarySearcher.search(fquery); For a simple test I misspelled brown, as follows: * bronw * bruwn * brownz To validate my testcases I checked if Microsoft Word and Google had any idea what I was trying to spell. Google suggested brown, brown, browns, respectively. Words suggestions were: bronw==>brown, brow bruwn==>brown, brawn, bruin brownz==>browns, brown The suggestions using David Spencer/Nicolas Maisonneuve's algorithm against my index were: bronw==>jaron, brooks, citron, brookline bruwn==>brush brownz==>bronze, brooks, brooke, brookline The suggestions using my real simple algorithm against my index were: bronw==>brown, brwn, brush bruwn==>brown, brwn, brush brownz==>brown, bronze It appears that David Spencer/Nicolas Maisonneuve's Spell Checking Algorithm returns a broader result set than most commercial algorithms or a real simple algorithm. I will be the first to say, that this is just anecdotal evidence and not a rigourous test of either algorithm. But until extensive testing has been done I'm going to stick with my real simple dictionary lookup.
