Improved search function with misspelling function

[Rami Najmi]

Hello everyonr

 

I am looking for a module or a solution that helps customer find what they are searching for on a shop.

 

It means if they make a minor misspelling in the search term, then it should still show related results.

 

If there isn't a module that have these functions, then I am searching for a solution that makes so the search function only reads the first 3 characters of the search term.

 

Any ideas?

In Prestashop there are aliases, you can set up an alias for a specific phrase, but you need to know the actual misspelling up front. If you have a few common and frequent misspellings in your shop this can be enough.

 

To limit the search phrase to 3 characters you would need to make some changes to the find() function in Search class, for example add at the very beginning:

$expr = substr($expr, 0, 3);

If you want to enhance the search further, to include CMS pages, check out the Smart CMS Search Module.

Daresh, thank you very much.

 

Your solution worked like a charm, but after seeing your module, I am considering buying it.

 

Thank you, have a nice day.
