i don't think so ... you'd need to write a new RequestHandler (or
maybe a
SearchComponent ... could subclass QueryComponent?) to do this.
My initial though is to put the built-in spell checking component
*before* the "query" component, and provide a custom QueryComponent
(named "query") that does the initial search and if no results found
does a search based on spell suggestions.
But, the simplest solution is for the client to manage this and issue
a second request using the suggestions if no results are found.
However, I know sometimes in practice that there is push-back on
having a client with too much smarts.
