Here are some data structures that are especially useful for working with (and finding) strings.

• Tries
• Suffix trees
• Directed acyclic word graphs
• Suffix array
• Patricia trie

These can be especially useful for auto-completion.

Here's a simple spell checker written in Python with a bit of digression on how it works.

In order to build a dictionary, you could "parse" e.g. wikipedia to collect known words.
