Let's find a dude ranch in Misouri. Drat, that word is misspelled. Google helpfully searches for the word (477 other people can't spell Missouri, either.) But at the top of the results area, it also asks 'Did you mean: "dude ranch" OR "guest ranch" Missouri"' Click on the link, and it will search again, this time with the correct spelling.
