Live Search spoke in Russian

The Microsoft Live Search searcher has learned how to work with the morphology of the Russian language and correct queries typed in the wrong keyboard layout and with grammatical errors . In this endeavor, Microsoft, of course, acts as a laggard, but moving in this direction can definitely bear some fruit.



Anton Danilov, product manager at Microsoft’s Russian representative office, says that “search work was carried out in Redmond in close cooperation with the Russian office”. The mechanism for processing Russian-language queries is built into Live Search in such a way that it is accessible from any country, not only from Russia.



The mechanism takes into account the related words: “cases, times, the plural / singular number is recognized,” says Anton. But word transitions to other forms (verbal adjectives, for example) are not currently being processed.

Whether the developments on the correction of the layout and analysis of morphology will be used in other Microsoft products, the company does not comment. But the prospects for the analogue of Punto Switcher in Office are drawn very vividly.
