English tips correct broken English

17% of Nigmy.ru queries are English-language queries. Users do not want to be limited to Runet, they need search all over the Internet. But at the same time, it is obvious that among Russian-speaking users, the percentage of people who know English perfectly is not so high, so we launched the Anglo Assistance linguistic analyzer, which allows us to correct broken English in requests for a more formal one.

This service is especially needed in the search. For example, one of the developers of Anglopodcast said that even before working in Nigma, he had long and unsuccessfully googled the phrase “worm spread” while studying the methods of spreading Internet worms. The English Nigma.ru suggestion now offers the correct correction of this query: “worm propagation”

For the operation of this service, a semantic network of English words was built, connected with each other through translation from Russian into English and vice versa. As a result, the linguistic analyzer goes over all possible similar (from the point of view of the Russian-speaking user) English concepts (which for the English-speaking user may not be synonymous), and selects those whose frequency is higher in literary and generally formal texts. If in formal texts it was not possible to find a sufficient number of examples of use, the search is conducted on all documents. By the way, because the search is primarily carried out on formal documents, often the request is corrected so that in the issue was less commercial information.
