            Bug ID: 129691
           Summary: spell check, spelling, add to dictionary -- add all
                    variants, like Friedenthal + Friedenthal's...
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jepe at cspv.hu

Description:
it is kind of annoying that one has to add all variants of a word to the custom
dictionary... 
In Hungarian, and in so many languages, several "suffixed" version of any verb
or noun could be added... BUT let's keep to English, probably the easiest
language in this respect...

When you add a new word, a noun, for example, it would be cool if variants like
NOUN's would be added, too...

or if spell check would run another round of checking when the string has an 's
ending :)

Capitalization is another such variant, for example...

like friedenthal :) to keep to our example

- - -

I imagine, adding 3 words instead of one sounds like NO-NO, and really... what
for...?
I'm no expert, but I can guess that the search methods should be made more
intelligent... 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add a new word to a custom dictionary, like Friedenthal
2. then write: Friedenthal's or friedenthal
3.

Actual Results:
it will be underlined, marked as "not recognized"

Expected Results:
it should NOT be marked as "not recognized" :)

once you add Friedenthal, capitalized and non-capitalized forms of it, as well
as with the addition of 's, too, should be recognized...


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I can imagine that since LibreOffice works in so many languages, this could be
a HUUUUUGE thing to do...

but perhaps a minimal version, an embryonic base version could be developed...
as to the 's ending, 
the spellchecker algorithm can recognize a word with a comma or period, or
exclamation mark, or question mark after it, too :) 
I mean, the intelligent recognition I'm asking for is already in use :)
