Hi, A month ago, the topic of a spell checker in Solr came up (c.f. http://www.mail-archive.com/solr-user@lucene.apache.org/msg01254.html ).
Has anyone made any progress with that? If not, I'll have to do this to scratch my own itch. Because I'm in a hurry with this, I think I will go with the "chop terms into n-grams in the client, and send the term + the n-grams to Solr for indexing", as described here: http://www.mail-archive.com/solr-user@lucene.apache.org/msg01264.html . I will then query this index for alternative spelling suggestions just like I'd query any other Solr instance (the idea being I'd search this index in parallel with the search of the index with the actual data I want to find). I will not, at this time, modify or write any spell checker request handlers that add spelling suggestions to the response. If anyone has any comments not covered in that thread above, I'm all eyes. Otis
