Unfortunately your system for spotting mistakes catches neither of the typos in that Twitter thread. I can imagine autocorrect tools that would actually help here but since you've made the w3w algorithm completely proprietary I guess you're on your own?pic.twitter.com/GCklXGBDJp
) which is why our system is designed to spot & correct them. As similar words are placed far apart, a small error is obvious & a better combination can be suggested. ///list.loud.react is nice too!
We designed autosuggest to favour results near the user, where it's most commonly used. Location-weighting of results works if location services are enabled in the browser window or app |

Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
