It seems the best thing to do would be to do a case-insensitive spellcheck, but provide the suggestion preserving the original case that the user provided--or at least make this an option. Users are often lazy about capitalization, especially with search where they've learned from web search engines that case (typically) doesn't matter.

So, for example, Thurne would return Thorne, but thurne would return thorne.

Rob,

Let's say it worked as you want it to in the first place.  If the
query is for Thurne, wouldn't you get thorne (lower-case 't') as the
suggestion?  This may look weird for proper names.
