Have a look at suggest.vm - the "name" field is used in there too.
Just those two places, layout.vm and suggest.vm.
That was the missing change I needed.
Thanks much!

And I had already added a ## TODO in my local suggest.vm:
## TODO: make this more generic, maybe look at the request
terms.fl? or just take the first terms field in the response?
And also, ideally, there'd be a /suggest handler mapped with the
field name specified there. I simply used what was already
available to put suggest in there easily.

Your wish is my command. Check out trunk, fire up Solr (ant run-

Just used jQuery's autocomplete plugin and the terms component for
now, on the name field. Quite simple to plug in, actually. Check
the commit diff. The main magic is doing this:
<http://localhost:8983/solr/terms?terms.fl=name&terms.prefix=i&terms.sort=count&wt=velocity&v.template=suggest

Stupidly, though, jQuery's autocomplete seems to be hardcoded to
send a q parameter, but I coded it to also send the same value as
terms.prefix - but this could be an issue if hitting a different
request handler where q is used for the actual query for filtering
terms on.
Let's say, just for grins, that a different field (besides "name")
is being used for autocompletion.
What would be all the places I'd need to hit to change the field,
besides the terms.fl value in layout.vm? For example, what about
browse.vm:
$("input[type=text]").autoSuggest("/solr/suggest",
{selectedItemProp: "name", searchObjProps: "name"}});
I'm asking because I'm trying to use this latest support with an
index that uses "product_name" for the auto-complete field, and I'm
not getting any auto-completes happening.
I see from the Solr logs that requests being made to /solr/terms
during auto-complete that look like:
INFO: [] webapp=/solr path=/terms
params
=
{limit
=
10
×tamp
=
1276903135595
&terms
.fl
=
product_name
&q
=
rug
&wt=velocity&terms.sort=count&v.template=suggest&terms.prefix=rug}
status=0 QTime=0
Which I'd expect to work, but don't seem to be generating any
results.
What's odd is that if I try curling the same thing:
curl -v "http://localhost:8983/solr/terms?limit=10×tamp=1276903135595&terms.fl=product_name&q=rug&wt=velocity&terms.sort=count&v.template=suggest&terms.prefix=rug
"
I get an empty HTML response:
< Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
< Content-Length: 0
< Server: Jetty(6.1.22)
If I just use what I'd consider to be the minimum set of parameters:
curl -v "http://localhost:8983/solr/terms?limit=10&terms.fl=product_name&q=rug&terms.sort=count&terms.prefix=rug
"
Then I get the expected XML response:
< Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
< Content-Length: 225
< Server: Jetty(6.1.22)
<
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
<lst name="responseHeader"><int name="status">0</int><int
name="QTime">0</int></lst><lst name="terms"><lst
name="product_name"><int name="rug">7</int></lst></lst>
</response>
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,

I don't believe Solritas supports autocompletion out of the box.
So I'm wondering if anybody has experience using the LucidWorks
distro & Solritas, plus the AJAX Solr auto-complete widget.
I realize that AJAX Solr's autocomplete support is mostly just
leveraging the jQuery Autocomplete plugin, and hooking it up to
Solr facets, but I was curious if there were any tricks or traps
in getting it all to work.
Thanks,
