Feature | Embedded Autocorrect in Word Search

We’ve enhanced our search capabilities by embedding autocorrection directly into two key algorithms: Word Search and Fuzzy Search. This allows for smarter, more precise typo handling exactly where it's needed, without applying corrections globally for the majority of your Search funnel.

Like already possible in Exact Match and Exact Start it now is possible to configure the removal of punctuation marks in the configuration of a Search Word algorithm: ( ) Space, (/) Slash, (-) Hyphen, (,) Comma, (.) Period. These characters will be stripped from the search phrase before the word search algorithm executes, as can be observed in the search log of Tweakwise Demoshop.

Autocorrect algorithm

Importantly, our original autocorrection algorithm remains available. You now have the flexibility to choose between global correction or targeted correction within specific algorithms, offering greater control and improved performance for complex search configurations.

Suggestions upgrades

• For category suggestions, we’ve made it possible to prioritize results exactly match the given search term. Whenever the search term exactly matches the name of a category, that category will be pushed to the top of the suggestions.
• Search phrase and Facet suggestions are now made insensitive to diacritics. So searching on 'cafe' will now also result in a suggestions like 'café au lait'.
• The same behavior has been applied to Category suggestions as well, more specifically: we ignore diacritics (special characters like éë). Previously, when searching for pokemon, you would not find category suggestions for categories containing 'Pokémon' in the name. This is now fixed and aligns with the rest of our search behaviors.
