Mitchell 1 has enhanced its 1Search Plus dashboard in its TruckSeries Repair Information with a new feature called “Did You Mean.”
This powerful upgrade helps technicians and service writers find the right information faster by automatically suggesting corrected industry terms when typos or extra characters are entered in the search bar.
“A single mistyped word shouldn’t slow down a repair," says Nick DiVerde, senior director of product management at Mitchell 1. “We know how critical it is for technicians and service writers to get accurate information quickly. With ‘Did You Mean,’ 1Search Plus becomes even more powerful, ensuring every search gets them closer to the right fix. That means faster repairs, more satisfied customers and greater productivity in the shop.”
Mitchell 1 states searching for the right repair information can often be derailed by a single mistyped character. With “Did You Mean,” users no longer waste time retyping or guessing. The new functionality goes beyond standard type-ahead features by acting as a smart safety net that keeps searches on track, the company adds.
By automatically recognizing misspelled or mistyped terms, “Did You Mean” instantly suggests correctly spelled search terms, helping technicians stay focused on the repair instead of troubleshooting their search. For example, the term “alternator” is frequently misspelled in search queries, appearing as alteranator, altenator, alternater, altanator or altinator. With “Did You Mean,” 1Search Plus suggests the correct spelling so users stay on track without wasting time.
