Add a Spellcheck Block List Manually

Before you begin: To define a spellcheck block list, you must first have enabled a dictionary for spellcheck blocklisting in the Administration Console. See Setting Up Spell-Check in the Exalead CloudView Configuration Guide.
  1. In Semantic > Resources, select a block list resource from the list of Resources. For example, a Spellcheck - blocklist.
    • If the semantic resource is not available in the list, click the Refresh button.
    • If the semantic resource is in the list but you get an error message, check with your Exalead CloudView Administrator. When a new resource is created, the changes must be applied to the configuration before being able to edit the resource.
  2. To configure the block list resource, click Add row for each entry and in:
    1. Language, restrict the match to a specific language or accept xx (N/A) (for all languages).
    2. Level, select the matching level, for example, No (exact match).
    3. Expression, type the word to block from spellchecking, for example, exalead.

Import a spellcheck block list resource file

In the following example, we want to import a resource file listing cosmetic brands for which we don’t want any spellcheck.

  1. In Semantic > Resources, select a block list resource from the list of Resources.
  2. Click Import file.

    If it is a CSV or Excel file, it should have 3 columns:

    • language – for the ISO codes of the impacted language(s),
    • level – for the matching mode of the expressions,
    • expression – for the expressions to block.

    The Import file wizard opens to help you to import your CSV/ Excel file.

    If it is an XML file, you must define a list of entries with the attributes: level, expression, lang. The following code sample shows the same spellcheck block list resource file in XML.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ling:SpellCheckBlackList xmlns:ling="exa:com.exalead.linguistic.v10" 
xmlns:bee="exa:exa.bee" xmlns:config="exa:exa.bee.config">
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="ATLANTIC NATURE" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="BIOFLORAL" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="NAT &amp; FORM" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="NAT &amp; FORM" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="NATURE ETRE" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="NATURE MARINE" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="SVR" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="ARGILETZ" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="AKIL TOILETTE" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="AKILDIA" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="AKILEINE" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="AKILENJUR" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="AKILORTHO" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="AKIPIC" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="CANYS" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="CICALEINE" lang="fr"/>
  <ling:Entry level="normalized" expression="COUP D'ECLAT" lang="fr"/>
  <!-- etc. -->
</SpellCheckBlackList>
  3. Click Next.

    You finally get your resource file imported in the Business Console.
