Previously, when both legitimate 0-frequency words (such as
distracters) and offensive words were encoded in the same
way, distracters would never show up when the user blocked
offensive words (the default setting, as well as the setting
for regression tests).
When b/11031090 was fixed and a separate encoding was used
for offensive words, 0-frequency words would no longer be
blocked when they were an "exact match" (where case
mismatches and accent mismatches would be considered an
"exact match"). The exact match boosting functionality meant
that, for example, when the user typed "mt" they would be
suggested the word "Mt", although they most probably meant
to type "my".
For this reason, we introduced this change, which does the
following:
* Defines the "perfect match" as a really exact match, with
no room for case or accent mismatches
* When the target word has probability zero (as "Mt" does,
because it is a distracter), ONLY boost its score if it is a
perfect match.
By doing this, when the user types "mt", the word "Mt" will
NOT be boosted, and they will get "my". However, if the user
makes an explicit effort to type "Mt", we do boost the word
"Mt" so that the user's input is not autocorrected to "My".
