Sounds good but I heard "/suggest" component is the recommended way of
doing auto-complete in the new versions of Solr. Something along the lines
of this article
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Suggester
<searchComponent name="suggest" class="solr.SuggestComponent">
<lst name="suggester">
<str name="name">mySuggester</str>
<str name="lookupImpl">FuzzyLookupFactory</str>
<str name="dictionaryImpl">DocumentDictionaryFactory</str>
<str name="field">cat</str>
<str name="weightField">price</str>
<str name="suggestAnalyzerFieldType">string</str>
<str name="buildOnStartup">false</str>
</lst>
</searchComponent>
Can someone confirm this?
Regards,
Salman
