What Is Typo Tolerance?
Typo Tolerance is a search feature that understands common spelling mistakes and typing errors. Instead of returning no results, it intelligently finds relevant products that closely match what the customer intended to search for.
With NivoSearch, shoppers don’t need to type product names perfectly. Whether they miss a letter, swap characters, or make a simple typo, they can still discover the products they’re looking for.
Why Typo Tolerance Matters?
Customers often search quickly on desktop and mobile devices, making typing mistakes inevitable. A search that returns no results can interrupt the shopping journey and cause customers to leave your store.
Typo Tolerance helps create a more forgiving search experience by matching relevant products even when search queries aren’t perfectly spelled. This improves product discovery, keeps customers engaged, and makes shopping more enjoyable.
