Impact of Spelling on Zendesk Article Visibility

Discover how spelling errors in search queries can affect article visibility in Zendesk and how to address this issue.

How does spelling affect article visibility in Zendesk search?

Spelling plays a crucial role in whether your articles appear in search results. If a search query is misspelled, the search engine does not automatically correct it, which can lead to no results being shown.

To mitigate this, consider adding common misspellings as labels to your articles. This can help ensure that even if users make spelling errors, your articles still appear in the search results. This proactive approach can significantly enhance the user experience by making it easier for users to find the information they need.
