Hi Edwin, I have worked extensively recently in Suggester and the blog I feel to suggest is Erick's one. It's really detailed and good for a beginner and expert as well. [1]
Apart that let's see you particular use case : 1) Do you want to be able to get also where the suggestions are coming from ? e.g. suggestion1 from field1 suggestion2 from field2 ? In this case I would try with multiple dictionaries but I am not sure Solr allows you to use them concurrently. But can be a really nice extension to develop. 2) If you don't care where the suggestions are coming from, just use a copy field, where you copy the content of the interesting fields. The suggestions will come from the fields you have copied in the copy field, without distinction. Hope this helps you Cheers [1] http://lucidworks.com/blog/solr-suggester/ 2015-06-02 4:22 GMT+01:00 Zheng Lin Edwin Yeo <edwinye...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > Does anyone knows if we can derive suggestions across multiple fields? > > I tried to set something like this in my field in suggest searchComponents > in solrconfig.xml, but nothing is returned.
