Misspelled words in search suggestions?

Why does I get misspelled words for suggestions when I type in the search box?  It's happened several times for me....once I was typing zacchaeus and it suggested zaccheus (which isn't spelled that way anywhere in the library).

Another time I typo'd while typing circumcision by typing "curcu", and look what it suggested:

What is up with that? It's also not a word in the library.  Shouldn't the suggestions be actual words in the index?

    I get two hits when searching for it:

    Do you have either of those resources unlocked? Can you get any search hits from either of them? If not, is your main or supplemental index currently being created?

    I agree that even if you were to have these resources indexed, it doesn't make much sense for us to auto-suggest words that only occur once or twice; in a large library, these are much more likely to be typos than useful suggestions.

    Oh, I do get a hit on the WTJ41.  Sorry I forgot I had limited my search.

    And I get topic hits for zacchaeus now when I search on zaccheus.  I'm not sure I did in beta 6.  Thanks anyway.
