AlltheWeb Introduce Search Spell Checker.

Taking a leaf out of Google, Altavista, Teoma and Inktomi's book - AlltheWeb has introduced a spell checker system which means that it will now suggest alternative spellings if it believes you have made a mistake in the search box.

This is especially useful for medical searches or names of people and places for example. The AlltheWeb spell checker will work in much the same way as the others adding a link saying - did you mean "Edinburgh" if you searched for "Edinburough". By clicking on this link the search results will be updated with more relevant (and correctly spelt) pages that were found on the web for the search term.
