Faster typo tolerance on long queries
Queries of eight words or more with typos are now about 40% faster, and a few ranking edge cases are fixed.
People paste whole product names and error messages into search boxes. Long queries with typos were our slowest searches, so we rewrote how candidate words are matched. The median for queries of eight words or more dropped from 31 ms to 18 ms.
