Hello, is it possible to access the “Did you mean” search suggestion feature within my custom template?

This page is not so clear: https://www.wpsolr.com/knowledgebase/which-search-templates-are-available/

Thank you

Hello,

The “Did you mean” feature works as follow:
1) A search is performed on some keywords
2) No results are retrieved
3) Suggestions are retrieved for the keywords, based on the spellchecking setting from the index type/schema
4) A second search is performed on the first suggested keywords (if suggestions are not empty)
5) The search template display the results from the suggested search

Everything is automatic, and works in the background.

Sorry to hijack the thread, where does this usually output? It doesn’t seem to be working for me.

“Did you mean” appears only on the WPSOLR Ajax search template, not on your theme’s search template.

1. can’t find the option to enable it in the backend

2. Probably when enabled it shows in the default suggestion input box.
Does it work with “current theme.. without ajax” ?

thnx

How do you go about adding the “did you mean” when queries are misspelled? Doing some tests I cant get that message to display.

The “Did you mean” feature is only available wit the WPSOLR search Ajax template, not with your theme search template.
