Ryan,

If you use index-time synonyms on the spellcheck field, this will give you what 
you want.

For instance, if the document has "lawyer" and you index both terms 
"lawyer","attorney", then the spellchecker will see that "atorney" is 1 edit 
away from an indexed term and will suggest "attorney". 

You'll need to have the same synonyms set up against the query field, but you 
have the option of making these query-time synonyms if you prefer.

Subject: Spell checking the synonym list?

Hi all,

I'm wondering if it's possible to have spell checking performed on terms in
the synonym list?

For example, let's say I have documents with the word "lawyer" in them and
I add "lawyer, attorney" in the synonyms.txt file. Then a query is made for
the word "atorney". Is there any way to provide spell checking on this?

Thanks,
Ryan
