Wilson Spell Checker Suggests Alternate Spellings
Automatically activated when there are zero results for a search, the new WilsonWeb Spell Checker suggests alternate spellings for proper names, corporate names and any other words that produce no hits. More than just a simple dictionary, Spell Checker draws its terms from all the terms in the records of the database being searched, for much more relevant coverage.
Spell Checker is especially helpful with searches for the name of a person or company. Even the latest names in the news, and far-flung people, places, corporations, slang and jargon are referenced. Clicking on the Spell Checker suggestion launches an automatic search.
Spell Checker makes for a more user-friendly interface, ensuring results for all searchers. The new feature is especially helpful for users whose primary language is not English.
