Field Value

A list of ESearchAutoSuggestion objects, each of which contains a single spelling or phrased suggestion. If there are no suggestions, the list will be empty.

Remarks

Alternative phrasing suggestions are used by the MDEX Engine as the query to compute the set of matching documents returned instead of the user's original search query. Alternative phrasing suggestions can be returned under one of the following scenarios:

  • The MDEX Engine's Automatic Spelling Correction feature is enabled with the Dgraph --spl command line flag.
  • Alternative phrasing suggestions are requested using the NavERecSearchComputeAlternativePhrasings setter property AND the NavERecSearchRewriteQueryWithAnAlternativePhrasing setter property is used to request that the MDEX Engine rewrite the query using one of the alternatives it has computed.
  • Both of the previous two conditions are met. In this case, the alternative phrasing suggestions returned will incorporate both Spelling Correction and Automatic Phrasing.

An example of having both Spelling Correction and Automatic Phrasing is if a user's query of:

CopyC#
QUERY[New Yorkk restaurants]
is rewritten to an alternative phrasing suggestion of:
CopyC#
QUERY["New York" restaurants]
 Here the term "Yorkk" was spell-corrected to "York" and the resulting terms "New" and "York" were suggested to be phrased by the Endeca MDEX Engine as "New York". Only those suggestions that, when issued as queries, would return one or more records (before any navigation filters are applied) will be returned.
