Unable to spell…

Was visiting the local libraries website today when I noticed this:
Want to search but unable to spell? Try the closely match search.

I thought that was pretty funny, and bizzare as well…although I admit it would be even funnier if I gimped the photo to say “Want to search but unable to spel?”.

    That’s an awesome feature. My university library search is probably from the 70s or something (well, OK, maybe late 90s since we did away with the card catalog). You type in C++ and you get no results. So you have to type in c plus plus and then try to find a book with the title “c plus plus” and then you can see that it is filed under the category “C++” and then you can find all the C++ books in the library. So yeah, I wouldn’t say that’s bizzare (I r or two, I forget, your textbox needs spell check ;-). I would commend better search engines!
