Abstract

String Distance is one of the key metrics for string comparison used in spell correction, and Levenshtein, JaroWinkler, and N-Gram are famous string distance and similarity measuring algorithms. Spelling mistakes are often not more than two or three characters for the normal user when typing on a website search functionality. In this article, in the context of the e-commerce website, we will test and compare the results of spellcheck distance measure implementations provided by apache SOLR search, which are Levenshtein, JaroWinkler, and N-Gram
