AFAIK it only does a search for something it thinks is more correct if  
it doesn't find any results for what you typed in, otherwise it subtly  
suggests in big bold blue letters you typed it wrong, but finds what  
you typed in... Or at least that's how I took it to work.

I have noticed for somethings I've typo'd that it includes results for  
the typo and the correct spelling though.
