The spell checker suggests words, not records/documents.

I can't tell you from the information given.  I'd need to know what
spellings you've added.

If you can post a short example program which creates the index from
scratch and then shows the spell correction not working as you'd
expect, it would be a lot easier to understand what's going on.
