Abstract

Search engines have become the primary means of accessing information on the Web. However, recent studies show misspelled words are very common in queries to these systems. When users misspell query, the results are incorrect or provide inconclusive information. In this work, we discuss the integration of a spelling correction component into tumba!, our community Web search engine. We present an algorithm that attempts to select the best choice among all possible corrections for a misspelled term, and discuss its implementation based on a ternary search tree data structure.
