Fix is layered + degrades gracefully: typo tolerance → semantic (vectors) → managed synonyms/merchandising → native fallback.

Shopify's native storefront search has zero typo tolerance. Prove it on any store in 2 API calls, no auth:

/search/suggest.json?q=jaket → 0 products
/search/suggest.json?q=jacket → 24

Every mistyped search = a silent bounce.

Why: storefront search is keyword prefix matching.
No edit-distance → a 1-char typo is a different token → matches nothing.
No vectors → "warm" can't map to wool/coat/knit.
It fails silently — never in your logs, only in drop-off.

TIL you can grade any Shopify store's search from the outside.

/products.json → grab a real product word
/search/suggest.json?q=… → query it, then a typo

Real word: hits. One letter off: 0 results. Native search still can't spell.

Did Microsoft just give up on Windows Phone? http://t.co/k27oYccTdF via @verge

When an app is loading & you use a custom loading indicator, users think the app is slow—showing a standard spinny, they blame their phone.
