Some applications need to verify and eventually fix the spelling of text entered by the users.

Google search achieves this by presenting alternative spelling of text entered by the users when it seems incorrect.

This class takes advantage of this to query Google search and obtain an eventual correction of the spelling of text entered by the users without having to depend on PHP spell checking extensions.
