SearchSuggestions

This control provides spelling suggestions for search queries. It can be placed anywhere on a page with the SearchResult control (including inside SearchResult's templates). The control displays a link which performs a search with the corrected spelling. A custom dictionary can be specified with a list of words that should be ignored (eg. company terms, names etc). By default a US & UK English dictionary is used for spelling suggestions, however alternative dictionaries can be used by setting the Language property in the SearchSuggestions control. The extra dictionaries are available for download at http://keyoti.com/products/search/dotnetweb/dictionaries. You should download and unzip the .dict file(s) of your choice and place it in a folder under the Index Directory called "Dictionaries" (which you can create if need be). For example - myApp\IndexDirectory\Dictionaries\DICT-DE-DE-German_SE.dict. The dictionary files must not be renamed, as their language is determined from the filename.

Second fastest - suggestions are obtained from the internal dictionary (as specified by Language property).
