How do you handle the users’ mistakes?

Algolia uses 3 features to handle the users’ typing mistakes:1/ Typo-tolerance

• A letter is replaced by another: “iphXne” instead of “iPhone”

• Two letters switched position: “iPhnoe” instead of “iPhone”

By default, Algolia considers that an object without any typing mistake is more relevant and will therefore rank it higher in the results list.

2/ Split and Concatenation

• A space or a special character is missing: “RayBan” instead of “Ray-Ban”

• A space or a special character is unnecessary: “i-Phone” or “i Phone” for “iPhone”

3/ SynonymsYou can define a list of Synonyms to help users find the objects they want even if they don’t use the right words.These features are configurable via the Dashboard or via the API.
