Sorry, just wrote a long post and was given the login prompt again when hit post, so I'll be briefer on this one.

I'm testing v1.8.3 at http://****verma.gov/dig/ (the one in the title bar goes to an earlier version, so you'll need to use that url).
When I search for 'board of assessors', v1.8.3 returns results correctly after ignoring of and using the default AND operator. But if I intentionally mispell a word, as in "board of assesors", it recommends "bird assessors". I'd recommend a better way would be to only offer replacements for words each individual word does not produce results. Long story short, 'bird' shouldn't have been offered.

By the way, 'did', 'you' and 'mean' are all ignored words on the forum search, so I apologize if there is another thread that talks about this.

Thanks!
Mike
