Exalead Phonetic
The phonetic search option will give results sounding like the word you have entered. This works well when you don’t know how to spell a word, or there is more than one spelling for your search word. This can be done from the advanced search page or using the operator soundslike:type_word_here or soundslike:(type_word_here)
Exalead Approximate Spelling
This also works well when you don’t know how to spell a word for which you wish to search. This can be done from the advanced search page or with the operator, spellslike:type_word_here.
Use Google & Exalead Together
Use the Google Synonym search along with both the Exalead phonetic and approximate spelling searches to find the unknown spellings, similar spellings, incorrect spellings, and synonyms.
Remember, in normal searches, Google also identifies alternate words through stemming, abbreviations, combined and split words, and words with or without accents.
