Recommended
Set the language of every search field
SRH-13Choose the language rules for each searched field on purpose. Test word endings, accents and typos with a fixed list of word pairs.
Split compound words in languages that join them
SRH-14For Swedish, German, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian and Danish fields, split compound words into their parts at index and query time. A search for one part then finds the whole word.
Match how people ask as well as title words
SRH-15Site search, ask endpoints and agent tools drop filler words and match word forms, so a plain question finds the right page.
Optional
Give every item the words people use for it
SRH-16Store a short list of aliases with each page, product or rule, and let search read them.
