Spell Assistance
Built-in spell assistance functionality within EETS
Spell & Typos
Spelling and typos are a major pain point for people using search, especially for complex engineering terms and part numbers. Frustration can build after multiple experiences of landing on zero results page because of spelling errors or typos. Having a tool to navigate the user through misspells can sooth this pain and allow them to continue their search journey.
Both tools, spell check and Did You Mean?, are based on the input query, it's closeness to indexed keywords, and the amount of results returned for each case.

Spell Check
Spell Check comes is an automated feature, no set up required. This tool works by replacing your input query keyword(s) with close keywords. An example of this might be the input query "mosft" or "mosfrt" and being returned results for "mosfet." Two basic conditions trigger spell check:
Few or zero results are found
Close keywords are found (up to one or two characters are do not match but the terms are the same length or close to)
This feature is always active and cannot be configured.
Did You Mean?
Did You Mean? prompts users to consider a close query alternative, keyword or part number, with the "Did You Mean" text located above search results. The design is unobtrusive, yet available for users when needed.
This tool is always active and offering suggested query keywords based off the site index.
