Nalini, Assuming that you're using Solr, the hook into the collate functionality is in SpellCheckComponent#addCollationsToResponse . To do what you want, you would have to modify the call to SpellCheckCollator to issue test queries against the individual words instead of the collations.
See http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/branches/branch_4x/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/handler/component/SpellCheckComponent.java Of course if you're using Lucene directly and not Solr, then you would want to build a series of queries that each query one word with the filters applied. DirectSpellChecker#suggestSimilar returns an array of SuggestWord instances that contain the individual words you would want to try. To optimize this, you can use the same approach as in SOLR-3240, implementing a Collector that only looks for 1 document then quits.

And like you mentioned, this seemed like it wasn't low-level enough. Eric: Unfortunately the collate functionality does not work for our use case since the queries we're correcting are default OR.
