add "did you mean" search logic to SDA keyword search
Circulation staff would like to see "did you mean" logic applied to the SDA keyword search. This is the top complaint from circulation staff who search the database to help customers place holds. Staff are used to a Google (or Discovery Catalogue) keyword search that has some flexibility for human error.

Functional Requirements (what does it need to do?)
● When no exact match is found, the system offers “Did You Mean” suggestions or similar items.
● Suggestions are based on common misspellings, phonetic similarity, or fuzzy matching.
● Staff can quickly rerun the search using a suggested term without retyping.
