hi all, does anybody have practical experiences with Ling Pipes Spellchecker (http://www.alias-i.com/lingpipe/demos/tutorial/querySpellChecker/read-me.html)? With lucenes spellcheck contribution I am not really satisfied because the Index has some (many?) mispelled words, so the did you mean class (from the jave.net example) is good in finding similar mispelled words. With the similarWords Function the correct word is only around Position 2-5 - though it should be more frequent in the index. OG: You can modify that code and exclude low-frequency words (probably misspellings) from your spellchecker index. So for know I am thinking of switching to lingpipe, but I have a couple of questions: Is it better than lucenes spell-check contribution? What about performance? What about the quality of suggestions? OG: Lucene's spellchecker is pretty basic. Check LingPipe mailing list. A few weeks ago, I asked Bob to describe why/how LingPipe spellchecker is better than Lucene's, and he provided a detailed answer. Note that LingPipe is not free. Otis Does anybody have a good idea how to find typos in the index. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
