It does fix typos unless you put them in quotes. And tells you about it.

I was specifically asking about typos in quotes
No, it won't fix quotes. A quote is an exact match. And please, let it continue to be so.
Please read the question again.

What part of "Does it warn you about typos" is about "fixing quotes"???

Quotes are supposed to be for verbatim searches, so having the search engine "fix spelling" (in quotes because a lot of the time it's not a misspelling, just a specialized term or something like that) in them is kinda counterproductive and it's incredibly annoying when Google does that.
