Juan, thanks for the information! I have read through that page for quite a while before doing my tests, but it seems as if I had a different mental model. Then all reading might not be worth it. I thought that the SpellCheckComponent would be able to fetch index terms which are similar to the query term. The use case for that, mainly (but not only) in case of a zero-hit search would be to display the famous "Did you mean ..." hint. So I'm going back to the docs and to the example. :) Later, Marian
