Omnidex Text

Spell-Checked Searches

Omnidex Text has the ability to spell-check and automatically correct criteria based on common and unambiguous spelling errors.

Spell-checked searches are accomplished by using the SPELLCHECK option of the $CONTAINS function, or by using the SPELLCHECK function directly in the qualification criteria.

In most applications, spellchecking takes two forms. In the first approach, common misspellings can be automatically replaced without asking permission from the user. However, many misspelling could be corrected to more than one word. For example, the word ther is obviously misspelled, but it is uncertain whether it should be there, their, the or other. Use the MISSPELLINGS or SUGGESTIONS option for these situations.

Spell-Checked searches differ from Misspelling searches in that spell-checking checks the spelling of the criteria and find records that match the criteria. Misspellings searches look for records that contain words that might be a misspelling of the criteria keyword.
