# Coveo Did You Mean
> **Legacy feature**
>
> The Coveo Hive Framework is now in maintenance mode and is no longer recommended for new implementations.
> 
> To build new search experiences, use one of Coveo's more modern, lightweight, and responsive libraries.
> To get started, see the [Build search](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2473/) article.

Implements the [Coveo JavaScript Search Framework](https://docs.coveo.com/en/187/) [DidYouMean](https://coveo.github.io/search-ui/components/didyoumean.html) component, which suggests a query correction or triggers a new query with the suggested term.
See [Query correction feature](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1810/) for details.

## Usage notes

* When `EnableAutoCorrection` is selected, every time a query yields no result and the [Coveo Platform](https://docs.coveo.com/en/186/) finds a query correction, a second call to the Search API is automatically triggered.

* Coveo provides query corrections under certain conditions (see [Limitations of the QS-based system](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1810#limitations-of-the-qs-based-system)).

* You can change the default query correction message using a [custom initialization script](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2788#example-3-change-the-coveo-did-you-mean-query-correction-message).

* You can [customize the CSS](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2342/) associated with this rendering.
