1help my spelling!

I wanted to review a wine that I had tried the other night with some friends, and can NOT recall the exact spelling (even though I know I'm close). Help a girl out here: is there any way to include a "Did you mean....." option in the search results? Thanks! :)

2Re: help my spelling!

Hi S -

We recently added some spell checking for words like Cabernet, Syrah, Champage, Sauvignon, Bordeaux, and a few others that are commonly mispelled.

But we currently don't have "full" spell checking on the site yet. Maybe within a few months but it will probably take some time, it is a somewhat complicated engineering task.

Thanks for the input!!

3Re: help my spelling!

We've recently added some new features to the search, including one that helps with spelling errors.

Appending search operators '*' or '~' (no quotes) to the end of any search term can help you locate wines when you don't know the exact spelling. The * is a wildcard (romb* chard will match "Rombauer Chardonnay"), while the ~ allows minor spelling errors in the term it's appended to (moton~ rothwild~ will match "Mouton Rothschild").

For more information on these features see the following blog post:
