Hi

When I type "exampler" keyword it is displaying results for "example" which is not correct. There is any fix for this....

I presume you mean when the SERPs show the following:

Showing results for example
Search instead for exampler

This is a very frustrating situation and very difficult, if not impossible to fix, especially if the "example" keyword is a well known or searched term or a word where people would naturally think it is spelled in this other way.

The only thing I can think of is to build a brand so strong that Google would not change your search. But this will take the time or it may not even be possible.

The other possibility is rebranding into something where Google would not suggest something else.

The third is adding a modifier word to your brand, so that people search for (lets say) two words when looking for your brand, depending what the additional term is, it could be easier to avoid the problem.

The webmaster has no control over google's autocomplete (or bing or anyone else, too!). As noted above, your desired keyword might be too strong for others as well. The two word suggestion is a good one. Changing to a different keyword that still works for your site is another. The reality is you might just have to live with it. All that aside, however, you can't change autocomplete by the SE unless you can generate several million examples to change their behavior.
