Algorithms on search suggestions

Hi Trey, I am interested in taking a look at the algorithms used when you type a spelling error into the search box. I probably can't contribute anything technical, but am interested to see any lists and descriptions of how it works just to get an understanding of it. Any idea where I find that? ~ R.T.G 00:24, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @RTG, I don't work on that feature, called the completion suggester, but I've asked the folks who do to drop by and point you to some information. TJones (WMF) (talk) 17:15, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
