I have a Lucene (6.4.2) index with about 2-5M documents, and each document has about 10 facets (for example 'author', 'publisher', etc). The facets might have up to 100.000 different values.
I have a search bar on top of my application, and would like to implement autocomplete using the facets. For example, when the user enters 'Jo' I would like the options to be: 'John Doe - Author' 'Jonatan Driver - Publisher' 'Joan Deville - Author' ... My facets are structured using the FacetFields and Lucene Taxonomy, like this: 'Author / John Doe' 'Author / Joan Deville' ... Are there built-in options to create such an autocomplete? Or do I have to build it myself? I prefer not to do a search on all the matching documents and collect facets for those, because that is not very fast Any hints?
