Suggest match if there is misspelled word - Smart search

Post by Loki@99 »

Dear dev,

Having a smart search feature which suggest matches when there is misspelled word be convenient ?

For e.g searching for "Dpcument" will suggest 'Document"

For your ref, Smart find is available in latest Microsoft Edge Find on Page feature

Smart?

You mean: it uses not only some dictionary but also looks at the actual data on a given system i.e. checks indexed items?

Implementing of both of such features concurrently would be far more beneficial than just plain dictionary based suggestions. Everything should present both: what it thinks user looks for based on items from the database - and what might / should be looking for based on correct spelling of words
