 This isn't high priority, but Tomeu mentioned that the xapian indexer
 might already have basic support for fuzzy matching.  Since the kids using
 these machines are going to be both a) learning how to spell and b)
 learning how to type, we should expect inaccuracies in their search
 queries.

 Providing fuzzy matches could go a long way to making finding things
 easier when they jump in.  If it makes any difference in terms of
 performance, I'd say that only titles and tags need to support fuzzy
 match; fuzzy full text search seems like overkill.
