Martin, If you would like to get suggestions even for terms occurring in the index, set "spellcheck.alternativeTermCount" to a value >0 . You can use the same value as for "spellcheck.count", or a lower value if you want fewer results than for terms not in the index.
See https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Spell+Checking#SpellChecking-The{{spellcheck.alternativeTermCount}}Parameter With this, you might also want to set "spellcheck.maxResultsForSuggest" to a value >0. This will prevent the spellchecker from doing work even when enough results returned that you wouldn't want to suggest anything to the user. See https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Spell+Checking#SpellChecking-The{{spellcheck.maxResultsForSuggest}}Parameter Used with the "maxCollationTries" parameter, you should be getting fairly good "did-you-mean"-style suggestions.

I’ve got to the point that I do get suggestions if I find no document at all. The problem was seemingly caused by the way I quoted my search queries. Still I don’t get suggestions for terms that are in the index. For instance, if I create a document that contains the term “bnak”, I would like to display a result like: “found one occurrence of ‘bnak’, but did you mean: <list of suggestions>”. Is there a setting I’ve missed? -- ---------- mdie...@gmail.com --/-- mar...@the-little-red-haired-girl.org ---- ------------- / http://herbert.the-little-red-haired-girl.org / -------------
