: #2 would be even better but as you said, its a lot trickier. For my : needs, just a spelling suggester would be perfect. Would it require java : programming, or could I get away with it with the current Solr (adding : n-gram fields and querying on them)?
If you build the ngrams yourself external to Solr, and put them in a field, and query on that field using grams built yourself from the users input, then yeah -- Solr out of the box should work fine. -Hoss
