Bug 7417 (this bug) is for including see-from headings directly in search
results, and has nothing to do with the "Did you mean?" suggestions, which are
described in 8209. In order to use the feature described on this bug, you can
enable the IncludeSeeFromInSearches system preference and reindex.

"Did you mean" is not yet implemented for the intranet (from the administration
page: "NOTE: Did you mean? functionality is not yet enabled on the staff
client").

It would be possible to write an additional "Did you mean" plugin to do this if
you so desired.

The problem here is that checking prior to the search whether a particular
authority record is used would make searches so slow as to be unusable.
