[Koha] Authorities see from

In plain English, I would like the ability to provide a link to the
correct authority term when someone searches on an incorrect one.  For
instance we have quite a number of personal names that have a variety
of forms and or spellings.
We have 400 fields for these in the authority records, but they don't
seem to come up in the Authority search.

 Do I have to create authority records for the incorrect forms and
link them somehow to the correct form?

This is especially important for the topical terms, as there are quite
a few differences in British and American spelling!
