Sounds to me like your looking for fuzzy logic.  The misspellings etc. sound
like phonetic lookups where each word is attempted to be converted into
phonetic tokens then looked up by them with a nearness factor set which may
mean if the phrase breaks into 20 phonetics and a nearness of 80% then if 18
phonetics match return it.
