Spellcheck
The Spellcheck feature in Experro is designed to correct common misspellings in search queries, ensuring that users find the products they are looking for. By leveraging AI-based backend processes, Spellcheck maps frequently misspelt terms to their correct forms. This means that even when users make errors while typing, the search engine can automatically adjust the query and return accurate, relevant results. All you need to do is specify the commonly misspelt terms on the portal, and the system will recognize these terms as valid search queries rather than errors.For Example: If a user types “cher” while looking for a chair, the system automatically corrects the query to “chair,” ensuring that the correct product listings are returned. Administrators simply need to add “cher” in the Spellcheck configuration, and the term will be recognized as the intended search term.Use-Cases
-
Correcting Misspellings:
For instance, if a user searches for “cher” instead of “chair,” the Spellcheck feature corrects the query to display results for “chair.”
-
Improving Search Accuracy:
By correcting misspelt terms, the search engine provides more accurate and relevant results, thereby enhancing the overall search experience.

Stemming
Stemming is the process of reducing words to their root or base form, ensuring that different variations of the same word (e.g., “run,” “running,” “ran”) are treated as equivalent. This unified treatment helps to deliver consistent and comprehensive search results, regardless of the word form used by the customer.By applying stemming, Experro enhances search accuracy and ensures that users find relevant results even when they use different tenses or word forms.Use-Cases
-
Handling Different Tenses:
If users search for “running” or “ran,” stemming ensures that the base term “run” is also considered, resulting in unified search results.
-
Improving Search Relevance:
Recognizing and grouping different forms of a word allows the search engine to return a broader set of relevant results, thereby improving overall search accuracy.
Example:
In a sports apparel store, configuring stemming for the term “run” ensures that a search for “running shoes” or “run shoes” displays the same relevant products.Configuration Guide
