Hi,
I'm sure this is something that's probably been covered before, and I
shouldn't need to ask. But anyway. I'm trying to build an autosuggest
with org.apache.solr.spelling.suggest.Suggester
The content being searched is music artist names, so I need to be able
to deal with suggesting things like "Katy Perry" if the user types
"Katy Pe" (sorry, couldn't think of a more tasteful example off the
cuff). I've tried a few things, but so far none give satisfactory
results. Here's my current configuration:
<fieldType name="autosuggestString" class="solr.TextField" omitNorms="true">
<analyzer type="index">
<tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.TrimFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
</fieldType>
…for which I have a copyField called suggestionArtist. In my
solrconfig.xml I have:
<searchComponent name="autosuggester" class="solr.SpellCheckComponent">
<lst name="spellchecker">
<str name="name">autosuggester</str>
<str name="classname">org.apache.solr.spelling.suggest.Suggester</str>
<str
name="lookupImpl">org.apache.solr.spelling.suggest.fst.FSTLookup</str>
<str name="field">suggestionArtist</str>
<float name="threshold">0.0005</float>
<str name="buildOnCommit">true</str>
</lst>
</searchComponent>
<requestHandler name="/suggest" class="solr.SearchHandler">
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="spellcheck">true</str>
<str name="spellcheck.dictionary">autosuggester</str>
<str name="spellcheck.onlyMorePopular">false</str>
<str name="spellcheck.count">5</str>
<str name="spellcheck.collate">true</str>
</lst>
<arr name="components">
<str>autosuggester</str>
</arr>
</requestHandler>
If anyone could give me any pointers, I'd be really grateful.
