Never Lose a User to a Typo

Spell Check / Did You Mean

Misspellings are inevitable — losing users because of them is not. Keyspider's spell check engine automatically corrects common errors and offers 'Did you mean?' suggestions when a query returns no results. Users stay on track, zero-result rates drop, and search satisfaction improves.

Learns from your indexed content — corrections match your domain vocabulary

Works seamlessly with synonyms and intelligent search

How it works

1

User submits a misspelled query

Keyspider detects that the query as typed returns zero or very few results — a strong signal that the input may be misspelled.

2

Correction is generated or suggested

If confidence is high, results are automatically shown for the corrected term. If confidence is lower, a 'Did you mean: [correction]?' prompt appears above the result list.

3

User confirms or overrides

Users can accept the suggestion with one click, or choose to search exactly as typed. Either way, they're never left with a dead end.

Use cases

Public-facing portals

Citizens and customers don't always know the correct spelling of service names, departments, or regulatory terms. Spell check bridges the gap without requiring perfect input.

Technical documentation

Product names, API method names, and technical jargon are easily mistyped. Spell check helps users find the right function or feature despite keyboard errors.

Mobile-first search

Touchscreen keyboards produce far more typos than desktop keyboards. Spell check is especially high-value for search experiences accessed primarily on mobile.
