Search::Tools::SpellCheck - offer spelling suggestions

 use Search::Tools::SpellCheck;

 my $query = 'the quick fox color:brown and "lazy dog" not jumped';

 my $spellcheck = 
    Search::Tools::SpellCheck->new(
                        dict        => 'path/to/my/dictionary',
                        max_suggest => 4,
                        );

 my $suggestions = $spellcheck->suggest($query);

 

This module offers suggestions for alternate spellings using Text::Aspell.

Create a new SpellCheck object. %opts should include:

dict

Path(s) to your dictionary.

lang

Language to use. Default is en_US.

max_suggest

Maximum number of suggested spellings to return. Default is 4.

query_parser

A Search::Tools::QueryParser object.

Called internally by new().

Returns an arrayref of hashrefs. Each hashref is composed of the following key/value pairs:

word

The keyword used.

suggestions

If value is 0 (zero) then the word was found in the dictionary and is spelled correctly.

If value is an arrayref, the array contains a list of suggested spellings.

If you need access to the Text::Aspell object used internally, this accessor will get/set it.
