 sometimes xapian throws an error when a specific syntax is bad, like:

 {{{
 Didn't understand date specification '1wek..'
 }}}

 it might be friendly to be able to propose candidates that would be
 acceptable queries, similar to how git does when a subcommand is mis-
 written:

 {{{
 0 dkg at alice:~$ git comit
 git: 'comit' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

 The most similar command is
         commit
 1 dkg at alice:~$
 }}}

 For the example above, it could say something like:

 {{{
 Didn't understand date specification '1wek..'
 Perhaps you meant '1week..' ?
 }}}
