Enable Autocorrect in Keyword Search

You can enhance the keyword search experience in external career sites that use the Minimal template by enabling autocorrect. Autocorrect enhances the job search flow and provides more relevant search results to candidates.

Once enabled, if a candidate misspells a keyword, the search suggestions drop-down list shows items containing corrected, or closest matched spellings based on your organization's job title and description data. For example, if a candidate types "jaca" instead of "java", the list displays items containing the word "java". These items display instead because the keyword "java" is present in either the job titles or descriptions. Candidates can then select an item from the autocorrected list. They can also search using their spelling by clicking the Search instead for link.

The autocorrect suggestions are based on the data contained in your organization's job titles and descriptions.

Before you start

  • Autocorrect can only by enabled if Oracle Search is used. Customers using SemSearch must keep the feature disabled, otherwise it might break the job search functionality.
  • This feature is only supported for use with the Minimal template. Using it with the deprecated Modern template isn't recommended, because it might cause search to return irrelevant results.

Here's what to do

    • Task: Enterprise Recruiting and Candidate Experience Information
