Based on this original request on Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Contact_the_development_team/Archive/2016/06#Switch_off_search_thinking_for_you.3F
and based on this recent chat with the community: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Turn_off_.E2.80.9CDid_you_mean:x.3F.E2.80.9D_on_Wikidata_search
I think we can turn off (or otherwise hide) the 'did you mean' suggestion that comes back when search thinks you've made a typo (as seen in the image below).
I've appended "on Wikidata" to the title of this task to make it easier to find in searches, and also to make it clear that it is only proposed to turn it off on the one project not generally.
We should check to see if a flag exists for this and if not, we should probably make one. This will be all backend work and we've gotten community consensus on it.
