It would be nice if Pursuit could automatically suggest alternative search keywords when the search failed due to typos.

No results for "mayba", sorry.

Suggesting the symbols with 1 or 2 Levenshtein distance will be a good starting point.

I will submit a PR if this proposal is accepted.

@hdgarrood That's also nice! I will start working on this.
