I'm currently building a book search application using the Google Books API. I am sending the search term to Google Books API via a query parameter string in URL.
Let's say I am searching for the book The Game of Chess by Harry Golombek.
If I submit to the API: "the game of chess h goiombek" with the name spelled wrong, the search results will not include the book that I am after.
However if I go to book search on Google and use the same search term, it will suggest "Did you mean: the game of chess h golombek". Only after clicking this will the correct book appear.
So how can I use Google's search engine to autocorrect my search terms? There are many resources on how to build you own did-you-mean functionality, however I want to use Google's.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you!
