Hello,  
I have implemented ferret search in my application and now I want to  
implement ‘did you mean’ functionality.  
e.g. if I type ‘ROEM’ in search box it will return results with ‘ROEM’  
but will display a message stating "Did you mean : ‘ROME’ "  
I googled a lot for this but could not find a way to implement it with  
acts\_as\_ferret, is it possible to do its with acts\_as\_ferret ?  
Please suggest me.

Thanks and regards,  
Pravin.
