What
This extendes the default Primo misspelling file, adds all the misspellings listed in this Wikipead page:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/For_machines and provides a way to add your own custom misspellings
Why
Primo comes with only 130 misspellings and if you review your primo search queries logs you'll see a lot of common misspellings that aren't covered by Primo. By merging in the Wikipedia source this brings it to over 4,000 and by combining your own misspellings file you can customise this as much as you want

Adding new misspellings
You can add new misspellings into the custom_misspell.txt file in the Primo format - such as
Where the incorrect spelling is the first word followed by a space then the corret spelling. Note the or in the alot statement, this allows you to define multiple spelling results
I've added a sample into the custom_misspell.txt for a common misspelling of our Instituion name
How to run
You will then be asked for which version of Primo you are using, Choose one that corresponds to an available sub-folder ie. 3.1.2
This will now convert the contents of the wikipedia_misspell.txt into Primo misspelling file formatting and merge it with the default Primo eng_misspell.txt file (located in the version sub-folder) and then sort this
Copy the newly prioducted $version/misspell_eng.txt to the Primo misspelling directory at ng/jaguar/home/profile/analysis/misspelling/
Extending to other versions of Primo
If you want to create a misspellings file for a version of Primo not listed just create a subfolder with the version number ie 3.1.0, copy the current primo misspelling file (located at: ng/jaguar/home/profile/analysis/misspelling/misspell_eng.txt) to the version folder
Add/Edit the wikipedia_misspell.txt file if you wish
Then run the ./merge_primo_misspell.pl and upload the new file
