  • identifying at least one matching search term of the multiple-term search query, said matching search term being different from the potentially-misspelled search term;

    identifying at least one additional term that, based on an analysis of search query submissions of users, has occurred in combination with the matching search term relatively frequently; and

    comparing a spelling of the additional term to a spelling of the potentially-misspelled search term.
