But this is the wrong way around. At least make it an option to offer the typo correction instead of forcing it on you. Think of how much money Amazon made with one click. Two clicks is twice the clicks. Focus on fast and relevant searches not trying to guess what I meant. It's great to have a typo correction on offer but let me decide whether I want that to be default -- I don't. I know what I am searching for.

I agree that having that option would make sense. But arguably the default should be correction, because most users are probably making typos.

Fine but I am logged in, if it were an option I could fix it once and carry on.

Yes, I totally agree.
