First take a look at autosuggest. That does some great stuff if you can build the autocomplete dictionary only periodically, which can be somewhat expensive. See: https://lucidworks.com/2015/03/04/solr-suggester/
There are lighter-weight ways to autosuggest that should be extremely fast, in particular index your stuff backwards in a suggest field as: John Doe - Author and use TermsComponent on that for instance. TermsComponent is pretty literal, i.e. it's case-sensitive but you can send terms.prefix=jo and case things properly on the app side.
