# Dictionary form

The Dictionary form enables you to create a typo handling, stop word, or synonym dictionary for use in your AI Search search profiles.

For details on creating and modifying dictionaries, see [Modify settings for a typo handling dictionary](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/ai-search/config-typo-handling-dict-ais.md), [Create a stop word dictionary linked to a search profile](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/ai-search/create-stop-word-dict-ais.md), and [Create a synonym dictionary linked to a search profile](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/ai-search/create-synonym-dict-ais.md).

**Note:** When creating a typo handling dictionary, the name of the form is shown as AI Search Dictionary instead of Dictionary.
