The few terms I've tried it on morelike: search prefix produced better Read more articles than our old way (search for page title with full text search, and remove the article with the same title). So, add me to the excited column. :)

That query is slightly heavier than your average search query but its not a devestatingly expensive query. So its probably not worth caching anything. Maybe if we really publicize it we should be more careful with the poolcounter, but its probably ok.
There's also a srwhat=suggestion, I don't know if that helps getting related pages.
Its "did you mean:" I believe.
The Android app uses srinfo=suggestion for "Did you mean?". AFAICS from the API sandbox there is no srwhat=suggestion. That was probably a typo.
