[comp.misc] Recommend Spelling-Checker Articles?

Can anyone recommend some technical articles describing the latest
spelling-checker technology, including dictionary structure and search
algorithms?  I need to be able to find the "closest matches" to a given
word if an exact match isn't found.  Ideally, the dictionary should
support multiple-word entries and dynamic insertion of new entries, but
I can live without those.  
 
Please reply by e-mail; I'll summarize any responses I receive.
