GETTING STARTED

1. Installation Basics

In brief, ASPDidYouMean is installed by copying the whole folder (in this zip file) "ASPDidYouMean" to the root of your website.

2. Usage Basics

You can spell-check a search string and return the most likely result in only a few lines of code using the DidYouMean Class .

Its basic usage is shown below:

<!--#include virtual="/ASPDidYouMean/Include.inc"-->
<%
Set myDidYouMean= new DidYouMean
strSuggest= myDidYouMean.suggestionString(strQuery)
Set myDidYouMean = nothing
%>

The variable strSuggest now contains the returned suggested search string.
If there are no suggestions, then strSuggest will match the input string strQuery.

3. Dictionary Basics

You can install additional language dictionaries such as French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Portuguese and many Specialized English dictionaries. The dictionaries have the file extension .dic.

To install these dictionaries - first download them from www.aspdidyoumean.com and place them in the "Dictionaries" directory within your ASPDidYouMean Directory.
