Spellcheck is not as good as before

I noticed that the spellcheck of google searchs is not as exact as it was before.
While this may be a nice feature if you have not enough results it's really annoying if you have a lot.

For example if I search for a way to play midi files trough the Wiimoote with "midi wii" google shows also sides which contain wiki instead of wii. If I add Nintendo to the search there are no wikis highligted but now it finds mid instead of midi:
http://www.google.ch/search?hl=de&q=midi+nintendo+wii&btnG=Suche&meta=

Does anyone know if theres a way to search for the correct spelled word only?

It's obvious, should have tried before posted:

"midi" and "wii" finds the correct terms only.
