On misspellings (since there are quite a few lines here dedicated to them), I had the fun responsibility of learning / knowing too much about how our search worked (we were/are using an old version of Solr), and started telling people that there's a way to at least do something about misspellings. After conversations with two or three product managers, it became clear that the best course of action was to do nothing at all. I'm definitely not an expert on search or human behavior, and running through all the possible interpretations of how to handle misspelled words and what the customer wants was way more work than I was prepared to do. I'll even point out that my initial suggestion was, "Let's just copy Google and do, 'Did you mean to type _______?'" Even that was met with, "what if the customers X" "what if the customers Y" etc. etc. Wasn't worth the time (at the time).
