The challenge of this approach is that Google doesn't always do it. They seem to have a sophisticated algorithm behind it that sometimes shows the results of the original query, and sometimes of the "did you mean..." query. In some cases (e.g. when there is no results) it will probably be easy to implement it, in others not so much (given that our current "did you mean..." engine can be wildly inaccurate and thus provide useless first results). r. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
