Yes, you need to add words to the spelling database explicitly.  You can 
use the WritableDatabase::add_spelling() method to do this, or the 
FLAG_SPELLING option of the termgenerator to do so.  I don't think 
scriptindex has support for adding spellings to the spelling correction 
database yet, though.
