This should work (C++ version):
Xapian::TermIterator i = db.spellings_begin();
i.skip_to(word);
if (i != db.spellings.end() && *i == word) {
// Already in the dictionary.
}

You will currently be offered a suggestion if there's a more common
variant within the specified edit distance. Probably such a variant
should need to be significantly more frequent to be offered. This
