"""
Returns a corrected version of the given user query using a default
:class:`whoosh.spelling.ReaderCorrector`.
The default:
* Corrects any words that don't appear in the index.
* Takes suggestions from the words in the index. To make certain fields
use custom correctors, use the ``correctors`` argument to pass a
dictionary mapping field names to :class:`whoosh.spelling.Corrector`
objects.
Expert users who want more sophisticated correction behavior can create
a custom :class:`whoosh.spelling.QueryCorrector` and use that instead
of this method.
Returns a :class:`whoosh.spelling.Correction` object with a ``query``
attribute containing the corrected :class:`whoosh.query.Query` object
and a ``string`` attributes containing the corrected query string.
>>> from whoosh import qparser, highlight
>>> qtext = 'mary "litle lamb"'
>>> q = qparser.QueryParser("text", myindex.schema)

>>> correction = mysearcher().correct_query(q, qtext)
>>> correction.query
<query.And ...>
>>> correction.string
'mary "little lamb"'
>>> mysearcher.close()
You can use the ``Correction`` object's ``format_string`` method to
format the corrected query string using a
:class:`whoosh.highlight.Formatter` object. For example, you can format
the corrected string as HTML, emphasizing the changed words.
>>> hf = highlight.HtmlFormatter(classname="change")
>>> correction.format_string(hf)
'mary "<strong class="change term0">little</strong> lamb"'
:param q: the :class:`whoosh.query.Query` object to correct.
:param qstring: the original user query from which the query object was
created. You can pass None instead of a string, in which the
second item in the returned tuple will also be None.
:param correctors: an optional dictionary mapping fieldnames to
:class:`whoosh.spelling.Corrector` objects. By default, this method
uses the contents of the index to spell check the terms in the
query. You can use this argument to "override" some fields with a
different correct, for example a
:class:`whoosh.spelling.GraphCorrector`.
:param terms: a sequence of ``("fieldname", "text")`` tuples to correct
in the query. By default, this method corrects terms that don't
appear in the index. You can use this argument to override that
behavior and explicitly specify the terms that should be corrected.
:param maxdist: the maximum number of "edits" (insertions, deletions,
subsitutions, or transpositions of letters) allowed between the
original word and any suggestion. Values higher than ``2`` may be
slow.
:param prefix: suggested replacement words must share this number of
initial characters with the original word. Increasing this even to
just ``1`` can dramatically speed up suggestions, and may be
justifiable since spellling mistakes rarely involve the first
letter of a word.
:param aliases: an optional dictionary mapping field names in the query
to different field names to use as the source of spelling
suggestions. The mappings in ``correctors`` are applied after this.
