Hello all!

I'm building free text search for a website. I've managed to get it working or at least it returns stuff that looks correct.

But now I'm stuck. I'm unable to figure out how to apply suggestions and related queries in the mix. Like in the google search if you type "Tanpere" google says "Showing results for Tampere" with the exception that I want to display user the text "Did you mean 'Tampere'?". Also I would like to display user "User who searched for 'Tampere' also searched for 'Nokia'".

So how do I do that? I can't find anything in the API, in the web, even google is unable to help me. Where to begin?

Ah, I think I got it. But do I really have to use JS and AJAX calls to some obscure '/en/find/rest/spellcheck/get/' url? Isn't there anything in the .NET API?

Yes, there is a .NET API

StatisticsClient.Instance.GetSpellCheck(query);

And

StatisticsClient.Instance.GetDidYouMean(query);
