I couldn't find a specific place to report search quality issues so feel free to close if you're not ready for feedback on that yet.

I searched "rails remove primary key" and was suggested "rails revoe primary key". I don't know what "revoe" is, it's not a word. In other engines I always thought DYM just fixed spellings but I'm curious what it's doing here.

I clicked the suggestion and it seems there's a school called "Revoe Primary", I guess that's where it got it from? Oddly specific.

If it's intended to be more of an "LLM" type suggestion not purely spelling then a better substitution would have been "drop". This produces more relevant result:

It's intended as suggestions for spelling corrections, but the dictionary is automatically built from the crawled pages so it can sometimes give some very funky suggestions. The correction is only applied when you click on the link, as the user probably knows better than us what they are looking for.

I think there might be a bug here when calculating the weights for the candidate terms from the dictionary. Thank you for reporting.
