Users don't always know correct the spelling of a place or they can misspell it.
Using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching approximate string matching] algorithms would allow us to suggest a spelling correction.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Search for "Cannada"
    Expected result:
    Nominatim should suggest "Canada"
    Result:
    We just get results for "Cannada"
