Please go ahead and play with autocomplete on safaribooksonline.com/home
- if you are not a subscriber you will have to sign up for a free
trial. We use the AnalyzingInfixSuggester. From your description, it
sounds as if you are building completions from a field that you also use
for searching -- maybe it is stemmed, and that's why you are seeing the
weird partial words. To get good results from the suggester you will
probably need to set up a special field to use as a source of
suggestions that uses appropriate text analysis.

Hi,
I'm am wondering if anyone can point me to a website that user Solr's
Suggester or Autocomplete or whatever you call it. I am looking for
something that is closer to the default provided in the examples, but is
also used commercially.
I have a local Solr installation that is on an intranet. (Sorry I cannot
post it here.) Unfortunately, the suggestions it provides does not seem to
be OK. By this I mean in comparison to Google, which I know does not use
Solr.
For example, when I type the string "sto" into my installation, I get the
suggested values like "storag" - which is not a complete word i.e. it misses
the 'e' in the end. On the other hand when I use Google, I get complete
words like "stock market" or "stopwatch" etc.
I know Google does not use Solr. I also know that I do not have the
capability to do a lot of customizations to Solr that are much beyond the
defaults and changing a few settings. Hence I am curious if there is a
website out there that uses Suggester or Autocomplete where I can compare
the capabilities with my own.
Thank you
