Misspellings

Misspellings are words that are commonly spelled wrong.

In Ecommerce Search if a word is registered as a misspelling of another word, then it will be replaced in any search query with the correctly spelled word.

Misspellings are created as a part of a misspelling dictionary.

Example

Assuming calender is registered as a misspelling of calendar.

Searching for kitten calender will show the results for kitten calendar.

Info

Misspellings only replace words in the search query, it does not fix spelling mistakes in the searchable texts.

Warning

Misspellings will make the word considered a misspelling unsearchable.
Don't try to use misspellings for other things than its intended usage.

Effect on suggestions

In addition to replacing misspelled words in search queries, registered misspellings are also used to automatically filter suggestions. Any suggestion that matches a known misspelling will be excluded from suggestion search results, so that users only see correctly-spelled suggestions.

For details on the matching behavior, see Misspelling Filtering.
