Library catalogue enhancement - Spell Check


A Spell Check feature, providing assistance with keyword searching, has now been added to the Catalogue. In addition to offering a best guess ("Did you mean...?") suggestion, Spell Check provides a list of other spelling suggestions for single and multiple words.
For example, a slip of the fingers typing meterial sience as a keywords search would get you this:

KEYWORD SEARCH

NO ENTRIES FOUND

Did you mean material science? Other suggestions >>

You then get the option of choosing the best guess offer or selecting from a list of alternative suggestions for each word.

The dictionary is British English, which includes common American variations and we'll be adding French, Spanish, medical and legal dictionaries shortly.

Happy typing!
