Hi-
I'm messing with spellchecking and running into behavior that seems
peculiar. We have an index with many words including:
"swim" and "slim"
If I search for "slim", it returns "swim" as an option -- likewise,
if I search for "slim" it returns "swim"
why does it check words that are in the dictionary? This does not
seem to be the behavior for IndexBasedSpellChecker.
I think it can depend on your options, but there are reasons to check
even if a word is in the dictionary (although w/ FileBased, it's not
as obvious.) Namely, there can be "better" spellings available. The
strange thing is, I believe, the Lucene Spell checker should be
handling this, but your not the first to report the oddity.

Perhaps the FileBasedSpellChecker should load the configs at
startup. It is too strange to have to call load each time the index
starts. It should just implement solrCoreAware() and then load the
file at startup.
agreed, but there is a problem in Solr, AIUI, with regards to when the
readers are available and when inform() gets called. The workaround
is to have a warming query, I believe.
thanks
