Spell Check Tab

Site Search > Relevance > Basic Relevance > Spell Check Tab

When a query returns no results, the Spell Check feature of the SearchStax Site Search solution’s Basic Relevance screen locates similar-looking words in the index (Data Driven) or in a custom list (Dictionary Driven). The Spell Check feature automatically runs a new query based on the similar word. See Spell Check vs. Auto-Suggest for more perspective.

Spell Check must be enabled by a checkbox. Be sure to Publish your changes.

Dictionary-Driven Spell Check

If dictionary-driven, Site Search uses a dictionary that you provide. 

You can build the dictionary one word at a time, or you can upload a .TXT file. The maximum file size is 10MB. A newline should separate individual words. When you upload a file, it appends words to the previous list. Duplicate entries are ignored. Site Search can accommodate up to 25000 spellcheck entries. 

Data-Driven Spell Check

You can direct the spell check feature to look for keywords in one of the search fields. Heading fields, for instance, often contain a dense set of high-relevance keywords. Select the Data-Driven spell check method. This opens a new control for selecting a search field.

Data+Dictionary Driven

Site Search supports using both spell check features at the same time. You can draw spelling matches from a search field and also supplement this resource by adding individual words to a dictionary.
