Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:2416 gibrown]:
 > Based on those numbers, implementing some sort of "Did You Mean" UI when
 there are less than 5 results seems like it would improve the user
 experience.

 It would also be helpful not just for less than 5 results, but for some
 popular typos as well.

 @sevlad has reported that https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/woocomerce
 doesn't return the expected results ("WooCommerce" should come first).

 It took me a while to notice the typo (`woocomerce` vs. `woocommerce`).
 The latter does return the expected results, while the former mostly
 returns 7 pages of plugins with a typo in their title or description.

 It would be helpful if the directory asked: "Did you mean
 ''woocommerce''?"
