The spellSplitWords element is a child of the parserOptions element. It has no child elements.
This option determines whether the Search engine attempts to split unknown words longer than five letters into two known words, and if it does so, whether it does this before or after applying spelling correction. This feature can compensate for simple user errors such as a missing space between two search terms.
The possible values are:
false—Unknown terms are not split
before—Unknown terms are subject to splitting before applying spelling correction. This is the default behavior.
after—Unknown words are not subject to splitting until after spelling correction has been applied, and only if the term is still unknown.
For example:
<spellSplitWords>after</spellSplitWords>
