interpreted = N
texte = We are currently able to search on all the fields in our inventory database. Is it possible in WebDNA to search for "misspelled" words easily? For example, if a customer wanted to search for knife, but accidentally spelled it as knfie, is there a built in function that would "know" that the customer intended to search for knife OR at least an intelligent guess?
