: I meant it would be a simpler implementation in Solr because you don't : have to deal with java or any Lucene API's. You just create a document : for each "correct" word. For example the word "lettuce" would have a : document: : : <doc> : <field name="word">lettuce</field> : <field name="start3">let</field> : <field name="gram3">let ett ttu tuc uce</field> : <field name="end3">uce</field>
with copyField, good character based NGram analyzer, and a substring analyzer (for the start and end fields) you wouldn't even need to do all that splitting on the client side ... just send each suggestion as a single doc/field... <doc><field name="word">lettuce</field></doc> -Hoss
