Spell Check: Did You Mean....?
Would it be possible to display a spell check for searches in Links SQL like google does. For example if you search for 'likns sql' it comes up with 'Do you mean Links SQL?'

Im sure this would be a useful feature for many users.

thanks

Fuzzy searching with prompting?

I'll bet there is a CPAN module for that, which would give some partial functionality at least.

Hi,

Possible, yes. You could use our GT::SpellCheck module to parse the search query. We'll look at possibly adding this in a future version.

Cheers,

Alex

How can I pass the content of a form through this (preferably optional)

I want to use it for the Description field when a user submit a link...

Cheers

This would need to be done as plugin, as it has to happen during the add link code. You might be able to do it as a popup with javascript though. Have a spellcheck button that would go to page=spellcheck.htm and pass in the description. Then your global would use GT::SpellCheck to check the results.

Cheers,

Alex
