Query Translations allow you to modify the search terms entered by a user. The modified search term is then passed to the search engine. This can be useful when users often incorrectly spell a brand or product name, or when a term might have another meaning. |
Query translations can either apply automatically, or can be used to make a "Did you mean?" suggestion to the user conducting the search.
For example, users may often enter "blue tack" when your product descriptions contain the correct product name of "blu-tack". You can use query translations to provide the correct results.
Query translations can either apply automatically, or can be used to make a "Did you mean?" suggestion to the user conducting the search:
- If the translation is flagged to auto correct, the system will automatically display search results for "blu-tack" without prompting the user for confirmation.
- If the translation is not flagged to auto correct, the system will display search results for "blue tack" as entered by the user, and will additionally prompt "Did you mean 'blu-tack'?"
Query Translations are maintained through the 'Query Translation' tab in the Lucene Settings maintenance page.
