Coveo Did You Mean

Warning
Legacy feature

This article pertains to the Coveo Hive framework which is now in maintenance mode.

Choose one of Coveo’s more modern, lightweight, and responsive libraries for any future search interface development. See the search interface Implementation guide for more details.

Implements the Coveo JavaScript Search Framework DidYouMean component which suggests a query correction or triggers a new query with the suggested term (see About the Query Correction feature).

Usage notes

  • When EnableAutoCorrection is selected, every time a query yields no result and Coveo finds a query correction, a second call to the Search API is automatically triggered.

  • Coveo provides query corrections under certain conditions (see Limitations).

  • You can change the default query correction message using a custom initialization script.

  • You can customize the CSS associated with this rendering.
