Bug in spellcheck.alternativeTermCount

[Rounak Jain]

I was playing around with spellcheck.alternativeTermCount and noticed that
if it is set to zero, Solr gives an exception with certain queries. Maybe
the value isn't supposed to be zero, but I don't think an exception is the
expected behaviour.

Re: Get Suggester to return same phrase as query

[Rounak Jain]

Thanks, Erick. The link you gave me is mostly about getting Suggester
working with Phrases, which I've already done with queryAnalyzerFieldType
and no custom code.

What my main issue is that the query itself isn't getting returned *if *it
is an actual word/token in my index. So for example if a user begins typing
in w, wo, wom and so on, I wouldn't like those to appear in the suggestion
list, but if he or she types women, which is a legitimate word and very
likely appears frequently in my index, I'd like it to be returned in the
suggestion list.

I want to know if there's any way to configure Solr's Suggester to behave
this way apart from modifying the source.

Thanks,

Rounak

 Hmmm, R. Muir did some work here:
 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3143, note that it's 4.0 or
 later. I haven't implemented this, but this is a common problem so if
 you do dig into it and get it to work (warning, I haven't a clue) it'd
 be a great contribution to the Wiki.

Get Suggester to return same phrase as query

Hi,

AutoSuggest+Grouping in one request

[Rounak Jain]

Hi everyone,

Search dropdowns on popular sites like Amazon (example
imagehttp://i.imgur.com/aQyM8WD.jpg)
use autosuggested words along with grouping (Field Collapsing in Solr).

While I can replicate the same functionality in Solr using two requests
(first to obtain suggestions, second for the actual query using the most
probable suggestion), I want to know if this can be done in one request
itself.

I understand that there are various ways to obtain suggestions (term
component, facets, Solr's inbuilt
Suggesterhttp://wiki.apache.org/solr/Suggester),
and I'm open to using any one of them, if it means I'll be able to get
everything (groups + suggestions) in one request.

Looking forward to some advice with regard to this.

Thanks,

Rounak
