Greetings,

Currently, visitor must type the search augment as it is written in  
the Koran, when I gave a demonstration at Stanford last week, a  
suggestion was made to allow visitors type a word the way they want  
and that may not be the same as in the Koran. However, the result  
will be the correct format.

 From your experience, what are other common typing errors you  
experienced with your students?

Your help is greatly appreciated.
