Carrie, Try taking the "workbreak" parameters out of the request handler configuration and instead put them in the spellchecker configuration. You also need to remove the "spellcheck." prefix. Also, the correct spelling for this parameter is "minBreakLength". Here's an example.
<lst name="spellchecker"> <str name="name">wordbreak</str> <str name="classname">solr.WordBreakSolrSpellChecker</str> <str name="field">{your field name here}</str> <str name="combineWords">true</str> <str name="breakWords">true</str> <int name="maxChanges">3</int> <int name="minBreakLength">3</int> </lst> All of the parameters in the following source file go in the spellchecker configuration like this: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/branches/branch_4x/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/spelling/WordBreakSolrSpellChecker.java Descriptions of each of these parameters can be found in this source file: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/branches/branch_4x/lucene/suggest/src/java/org/apache/lucene/search/spell/WordBreakSpellChecker.java Let me know if this works out for you. Any more feedback you can provide on the newer spellcheck features you're using is appreciated. Thanks.

I set MinBreakWordLength = 3 thinking it would prevent WordBreakSolrSpellChecker from suggesting corrections made up of subwords shorter than 3 characters, but I still get suggestions like this: query: Touch N' Match suggestion: (t o u ch) 'n (m a t ch) Can someone help me understand why?
