Abstract
Correct spelling is crucial for online search engines to function well, and health information is highly sought after online. We propose a technique for increasing the effectiveness of spell-checking tools for use with medical queries. Our results show a marked improvement in the ranking of the correct term within the suggestion list returned by the spelling correction tool, as well as a lessening of the drawbacks associated with using larger dictionaries.Mesh:
