There's a lot of settings available in the phrase suggester we use in cirrus to provide "Did you mean" suggestions.
We could add url parameters to customize these settings for easy exprimentations.
And a Special message to allow wiki users to store the settings.
This is very similar to what has been done in T101111

Change 227424 had a related patch set uploaded (by DCausse):
Allow customnization of "Did you mean" suggestions
The current config is tuned to maximize suggestions, the parameters added here won't help to give more suggestions but would help to decrease "bad suggestions". We could play with confidence but I'm afraid that the suggestions would be really bad.
One way to increase suggestion is to workaround the prefix limitation. I added a hard limit to 2 for prefix length because I think it's more efficient to work on a reverse field to track typos in the first 2 chars.
Reindexing is required to activate this field see T107006.
