The spell checker uses data from the documents crawled by your appliance to make spelling suggestions. Periodically, the spell server will explore your index to update its database.
The spell server updates are automatic, so no configuration is required from the
server administrator.
A single spelling suggestion is returned with the results for queries where
the spell checker has detected a possible spelling suggestion. Spelling suggestions
are automatically enabled by default. The administrator may choose not to display
the suggested spelling field in the
XSLT Stylesheet for any front end.
The spell checker is context sensitive. For example, if the query submitted
is "gail divers," "gail devers" is suggested as an alternative
query. However, "scuba divers" would not return an alternate query
suggestion.
Note: The example is specific to the google.com spell
checker. Your spell checker might perform differently.
The spell checker is disabled when a query contains
special query terms, such as inurl:, allintitle:, and so on.
Note: Currently, the spell checker supports only US English and cannot
be manually edited.
