Hello again! After playing around with more simple solutions, I gather the suggester cannot do this. I've found a resource (namely 'Solr in Action'), they use a combination of
- two copyFields: - solr.TextField with simple whitespace tokenizer (field:'words') - as above, but with added EdgeNGramFilter (field:'ngrams') - a solr.SearchHandler with - defType="edismax" query parser - fl="author" - qf="words^10 ngrams" to boost complete matches over ngram matches It looks promising, reindexing will take some time. I'll look into it in ~16h or so, as this will run over night. Will report back if that's working out. regards, -1
