Search: adapt for spelling mistakes

Hi Deezer team
 

I'd like to suggest that you adapt your search functionality to cater for spelling mistakes. Currently I could type something and literally misspell ONE letter and the search will yield zero results. Please tweak your algorithm to search for similar entries. For example, if I search for “Sister Deborah Kanso” it will display no results. That's because the name of the song is KanZo (my emphasis) with a ‘z’ not an ‘s’. Indeed if I retype it as Sister Deborah Kanzo”, it yields the correct result. For the search to not yield a single result because of one misspelt letter is just silly.

 

Thank you,

Kwabena

    What does mean “LIVE”? A fix is live or discussion is live or production is live or what is live?

     

    BTW I can’t still find the track with “kitty after dark”, have to prepend with “mr.”

    “Harry Lauder” yielded no results. I found out in a Google search that he was knighted. “No!” I thought, “It can’t be!” But it was. “Sir Harry Lauder” yielded results. Why search Google? or allmusic.com? That should be done here. And the musicians and composers ought to be cross-indexed too.

    This is a cool one @Kwabz11, Kev is right. You've got my vote as well :v_tone2:

    How does one vote? I get, “you cann’t access this page.”
