Mike Krimerman commented on SOLR-395:
-------------------------------------

The separate list of frequencies is indeed for backwards compatibility, it 
seems preferable to do as you suggested and add a frequency for each suggestion 
if backwards compatibility is not an issue.
If the distance can be added it would be a nice addition. Lucene sorts the 
suggestion list by distance first and frequency second. 

Regarding the XML formatting, that would be nice addition. However I was under 
the impression that Solr uses only tag-elements (and not attributes) for 
responses. How would the frequency be returned if a JSON or Python response is 
requested?

Another nice addition might be to implement the decision of the prominent 
suggestion; however that might require some heuristics and not be generic.

> When issuing a spell-check, the word being searched for might be present in 
> the index with a very low frequency (i.e. a misspelling that made it's way 
> into the index). It might therefore be helpful if the client receives the 
> frequency of the word plus the frequencies of each of the suggestions.
> This feature should be optional (using a URL param).
