Misspelling Filtering
Suggestions that match a known misspelling are automatically filtered from suggestion search results. This means that if a misspelling such as "djor" → "dior" is registered, suggestions that contain "djor" as an exact word will not be shown to the user. Instead, only the correctly-spelled suggestion will appear.
This filtering is automatic. As long as misspellings are registered in a misspelling dictionary, the filtering is applied whenever the suggestion index is published.
A misspelling dictionary always applies to both the product index and the suggestion index. The search phrase itself is corrected before the suggestion search runs, so a misspelled phrase is matched against suggestions in its corrected form.
Matching
The matching behavior depends on whether the misspelling term is a single word or multiple words.
| Misspelling type | Matching rule | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Single word | Exact word | Matches any suggestion containing the misspelled word |
| Multi-word | Exact match | Matches only the suggestion that is exactly the phrase |
Single-word misspelling
Assume a misspelling "djor" → "dior" is registered.
| Suggestion | Filtered? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| djor | Yes | Exact word match on "djor" |
| djor perfume | Yes | Contains the exact word "djor" |
| djors | No | "djors" is not an exact word match |
| dior | No | Correctly spelled — not a misspelling |
Multi-word misspelling
Assume a misspelling "djor parfume" → "dior perfume" is registered.
| Suggestion | Filtered? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| djor parfume | Yes | Exact match on "djor parfume" |
| djor parfume set | No | Not an exact match of the full phrase |
| djor | No | Not an exact match of the full phrase |
Suggestion indexing
Suggestions that match a misspelling are still indexed, but they are excluded from the results. This is the same behavior as taboo suggestions.
