# Spell Check

If you misspell your query term for a Google search, Google will show up a message to inform you about it. Information regarding misspelled queries can be found inside the `search_information` property, under `spelling_fix`. The full body of the `search_information` property contains:

<table><thead><tr><th width="261">Element</th><th width="115">Type</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>organic_results_state</code></td><td><code>String</code></td><td>The state of the results </td></tr><tr><td><code>total_results</code></td><td><code>Integer</code></td><td>The total number of results </td></tr><tr><td><code>time_taken_displayed</code></td><td><code>Double</code></td><td>Time in seconds displayed by Google to show the results </td></tr><tr><td><code>query_displayed</code></td><td><code>String</code></td><td>The query displayed </td></tr><tr><td><code>showing_results_for</code></td><td><code>String</code></td><td>The query that the results are from </td></tr><tr><td><code>spelling_fix</code></td><td><code>String</code></td><td>Spelling fix recommendation from Google</td></tr></tbody></table>
