MSN Search Improving Spelling Correction System

The MSN Search team is focused on improving the system its search engine uses to correct spelling mistakes of searchers. A Spelling correction as an iterative process that exploits the collective knowledge of web users -goes into much more detail on some of the technical thinking that inspired the spelling correction system we built." He continues ... "Despite being a significant improvement for MSN Search users, the new spelling correction system is still far from perfect. Looking through user feedback, there are still a few areas in which we have room for improvement. For example, we often suggest corrections for correctly spelled names, and we are seeing this a lot during our beta phase since many users query their own name to evaluate our new search engine. An accurate search spelling correction system is essential to helping users find the information they're looking for. So in the coming months we'll be working to increase the accuracy of the spelling correction system. We'll also be expanding the system to include many more languages, since the English and German-speaking users of our search engine aren't the only imperfect spellers on the planet. :) " murdok is the CEO of WebProBlog which focuses on internet business and marketing trends.
