I have the following queries about the "Did you mean" auto spell check functionality in SharePoint Online Search -

  • How is the dictionary of words used for the spell check being built and is the dictionary expanded as more content is being crawled? Is there a dictionary per language?
  • Is it possible to look at this dictionary somehow? (Powershell?)
  • How does the Did you mean functionality work for languages other than English? What languages are supported?
  • Does it correct the spelling based on the number of times the keyword is available in the content? What is the minimum number of keywords existent in the content for Did you mean to work?
  • Is it based on a keyword existent in the dictionary?
  • Is it based in both, frequency of the word and keyword?
  • How and how often is the Microsoft dictionary being updated?
  • When is it necessary to add a keyword to the Search Dictionaries term set?

I could not find this information in the official MS documentation and hence reaching out to see if someone would know. Thanks in advance.
