Is opt out-out a spell correction convention?

On iOS when you type a string of characters and the spell correction shows up, you need to actively cancel the suggestion if you don't want it.

The same goes for a searching on Google and Yahoo which informs user that they are showing results for X with the option to search for the possibly misspelled phrase.

On Bing, things are a little different. They say including results for X with the option to search only for the possibly misspelled phrase.

But on all of these four examples, the user has to opt out-out to search for the typed string of characters. Is it fair to say that this behavior has become a convention, and as such should be used implementing such a functionality?
