Hi Group,
I was asked in my project to implement google suggest
kind of
functionality for searching help system. I have seen one thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/solr-user@lucene.apache.org/
msg06739.html which
deals with the way to index if large index. But I am not able to get
much
information to start with. I am using JQuery's plugin for auto-
suggest and
query field is a large text(appx 2000 char long). I am just
wondering how
can I extract all tokens for any character typed by user? Somebody
might
have already implemented the same functionality and I would
appreciate your
help on this, even a hint might be a great help.
I don't think there is a magic one-size-fits-all solution to this,
only a set of approaches you will need to modify for your specific
index.
You will need to modify the jquery plugin to grab results from a solr
query. For starters that can be just a standard query whatever.
Unless your index is small, you will likely need to configure your
index with special fields to use for the auto-complete search. This
is the approach pointed to in SOLR-357. Eseentially you index:
"Bould" as "b" "bo" "bou" boul" bould".
