Hello,
I'm trying find the best way to "fake" the terms component for fuzzy
queries. That is, I need the full set of index terms for each of the
two queries "quidam~1" and "quidam~2".
I tried defining two suggesters with FuzzyLookupFactory, with
maxEdits=1 and 2 respectively, but the results for "quidam~1" include
suffixes like "quodammodo", which makes sense for a suggester but isn't
what I want here.
Now I'm trying with the spell-checker. As far as I can see,
IndexBasedSpellChecker doesn't let me set maxEdits, so I can't use it
to distinguish between my two queries. DirectSolrSpellChecker seems
like it should work, ie:
<searchComponent name="fuzzyterms" class="solr.SpellCheckComponent">
<lst name="spellchecker">
<str name="name">fuzzy1</str>
<str name="classname">solr.DirectSolrSpellChecker</str>
<int name="maxEdits">1</int>
...
</lst>
<lst name="spellchecker">
<str name="name">fuzzy2</str>
<str name="classname">solr.DirectSolrSpellChecker</str>
<int name="maxEdits">2</int>
...
</lst>
</searchComponent>
However the parameter spellcheck.alternativeTermCount has no effect, so
the query "spellcheck.q=quidam" gives no results, but
"spellcheck.q=quiam" (which doesn't exist in the index) gives the
expected terms.
Am I missing something? Or is there a better way to do this?
Many thanks for any help and ideas,
Nathaniel
