Eks Dev commented on LUCENE-1532:
---------------------------------
.bq I got better results by refining edit distance costs by keyboard layout
Sure, better distance helps a lot, but even in that case frequency information
brings a lot. Frequency brings you some information about corpus that is
orthogonal to information you get from pure "word1" vs "word2" comparison.

> Key: LUCENE-1532
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1532
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: contrib/spellchecker
> Reporter: David Bowen
> Priority: Minor
>
> The file-based spellchecker treats all words in the dictionary as equally
> valid, so it can suggest a very obscure word rather than a more common word
> which is equally close to the misspelled word that was entered. It would be
> very useful to have the option of supplying an integer with each word which
> indicates its commonness. I.e. the integer could be the document frequency
> in some index or set of indexes.
> I've implemented a modification to the spellcheck API to support this by
> defining a DocFrequencyInfo interface for obtaining the doc frequency of a
> word, and a class which implements the interface by looking up the frequency
> in an index. So Lucene users can provide alternative implementations of
> DocFrequencyInfo. I could submit this as a patch if there is interest.
> Alternatively, it might be better to just extend the spellcheck API to have a
> way to supply the frequencies when you create a PlainTextDictionary, but that
> would mean storing the frequencies somewhere when building the spellcheck
> index, and I'm not sure how best to do that.
