Hi,
I've seen some posts on using SOLR-1316 or Solritas for autocomplete. Wondered
what is the best solution for my use case:
1) I would like to have an "hierarchical" autocomplete. For example, I have a
"Country" dropdown list and a "City" textbox. A user would select a country
from the dropdown list, and then type out the City in the textbox. Based on
which country he selected, I want to limit the autocomplete suggestions to
cities that are relevant for the selected country.
This hierarchy could be multi-level. For example, there may be a "Neighborhood"
textbox. The autocomplete suggestions for "Neighborhood" would be limited to
neighborhoods that are relevant for the city entered by the user in the "City"
textbox.
2) I want to have autocomplete suggestions that includes non-prefix matches.
For example, if the user type "auto", the autocomplete suggestions should
include terms such as "automata" and "build automation".
3) I'm doing autocomplete for tags. I would like to allow multi-word tags and
use comma (",") as a separator for tags. So when the use hits the space bar, he
is still typing out the same tag, but when he hits the comma key, he's starting
a new tag.
Would SOLR-1316 or Solritas work for the above requirements? If they do how do
I set it up? I can't really find much documentation on SOLR-1316 or Solritas in
this area.
Thanks.
