That's strange ... it'll tell me that I should really be searching for
what it thinks the word should be spelt as ("Did you mean: Color
bits" (bloody cheek ... that's a spelling issue in itself here)), but
goes ahead and searches for the "bad" spelling anyway. There didn't
seem to be any options to change this behaviour that I could see.
