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.
