Monday, October 15, 2007Search Term AutocompleteI'm finding this more useful than I expected it to be, personally. I've been using it as a sort of spell-checker. A whoopee-cushion, hand-buzzer sort of spell checker: it shows you how people have spelled things in Wordie, not how they're actually spelled--and misspellings in Wordie are legion. But it's interesting to see even the mistakes. This suggests a slew of possible future features: actual spellcheck, improved search (comments search, in particular), integration with a proper dictionary. Things to looks forward to, someday. Labels: ajax, autocomplete, features

This raises the topic of misspellings, and what should be done about them. I'm as guilty of faulty spelling as anyone, and usually realise I've misspelled a word when I find I'm the first person on Wordie to list it!

What do you think should be done about misspellings, if anything? It's a bit difficult to be bullish about them when made-up words are allowed! Subscribe to Post Comments [Atom] << Home |
