Deliverable-3

Objective

Incorporate the functionality of autosuggestion of english dictionary words in Yioop

Details

In the previous deliverables, a Trie of english dictionary words was constructed. Using the .gz file of JSON Trie, a javascript is written to extract the words for autosuggestion in Yioop

  • The Trie is loaded while the website is launched
  • Every time a key is up in the search box, words are retrieved and displayed
  • Only top 6 words are displayed
  • The user can hover the cursor on the autosuggestion results and click one of them to place in the search box
  • This currently works only for the first word

Components of Yioop updated

  • search_view.php - Added src for new JS file
  • web_layout.php - Additional properties to input tag and new div for dropdown
  • scripts folder - Added new JS file
  • search.css - To style the dropdown
  • resources folder - To place the Trie file

High frequency word list

The words were obtained from list of 50K high frequency english words. This contains a tuple of word + frequency of its occurrence. Using an awk script, the file was filtered to just have the english words and later used to build a Trie.

After incorporating autosuggest into Yioop, it looks something like below. This image shows the dropdown for single character entry 'c'.

Yioop drop down for c
For a search term of more than one character, it looks something like below.

Yioop drop down for more than 1 char


After intended word is seen in the dropdown, the user can click it and select, to place it in the search box.
