It's a hard one to tackle generically — but one thing you could do, was to create a searchAliases field on all nodes, and include that in the searched fields; add the common "wrong" versions of important keywords for that particular node to this field, to make XSLTsearch find it.
That might be enough to catch 80% of the missed queries?
Thanks for the answer, that is a very good idea on the part of the misspelling. I will try that out.
What about the part where you search on both the text with or without "spaces". Thought myself of a search with the querystring and if no result comes up, I will try to remove the spaces and make a search again. I'm just not sure if it will make the XSLT solution slow :)
xslt search misspelling and split words
Hi,
Is it possible in XSLT to search and find content, even though the content is misspelled or the words splitted up - even though it shouldn’t?
Example:
I need to find a webshop called bearshop.com, but I search it like this “bear shop”. This will end in a “no results”.
Another example:
I search “progresive” but the right word was “progressive”, and this will end in a “no result” as well.
Hope someone can help og lead me in the right direction :)
Kind regards,
Niels

Hi again,
I found myself another way around the issue. I'm going to convert the XML -> JSON and thereafter use a fuzzy search in JavaScript, like either http://listjs.com/plugins/fuzzy-search or http://kiro.me/projects/fuse.html.
Don't know which of them is the right one from start, but will definitely test both.
Thanks for the help.
