Able Search enables you to check spelling and error correction in Internet Explorer. When you create e-mails, write something on your blog or other web sites, errors often appear in the text. Sometimes they are small, insignificant typos, but sometimes serious spelling mistakes. Worse, when we send e-mail or an error appears in our blog, we cannot change anything. Sometimes everybody laughs at us when we mispronounced a word.

Able Search underlines with red wave mistakes appearing in text fields. Text areas on a web page contains a few lines, where you can enter text.

When you write on a web page e.g. email text, you will see immediately, where an error occurred. To correct it, simply click right mouse button on the underlined word.

Dictionary suggestions appear in the context menu. Select one of them to fix an incorrect word.

Able Search may check and correct spelling errors on a web page loaded in Internet Explorer. To do this, click spell check button, and then:
bullet  Spell Check Selected Text Field - Able Search will check spelling errors in the active text area, displaying a dialogue like Word or Writer.

You can choose the language for spell checking on the page. Word not present in the dictionary is highlighted in red, and a list of suggestions is shown below. Select one of them and click Change or Change All. You may ignore this error or add the word to the dictionary. Undo button allows you to cancel last changes.
You can also change the text in the top edit field and click Change button.

bullet  Spell Check Whole Page is similar to checking a text box - a dialog appears, showing errors and suggesting correct words.
In this case, we do not recommend to make changes in the upper edit field, due to the specific of web pages and HTML interpretation in Internet Explorer. It is better to edit the page by clicking edit web page on Able Search toolbar.

bullet  Highlight Errors in Text Fields - you can enable this option to highlight mistakes in typed text with red wave.
bullet Show Errors in Whole Page - highlights spelling errors once on the web page loaded in Internet Explorer.

bullet  Language - select the dictionary used for spell checking.

Able Search uses OpenOffice dictionaries and HunSpell spelling checker module. Able Search has a standard English (USA) dictionary, and at startup automatically finds and uses others installed on your computer.

You can download from the Internet free dictionaries which you often use. Select Internet tools Tools -> Options -> General and click download dictionaries button.

Able Search also allows you to define your own words. For example if you frequently use a word that is not present in the standard dictionary, you can add it to the user dictionary
