Spellcheck works perfectly when I misspell a word, but if there is a word
that already exists in the dictionary, Solr still returns suggestions for
it. eg: bike gets spell corrected to bake.
I unfortunately cannot use the *maxResultsForSuggest* field as I need to
return the correct spelling irrespective of if results exist or not.
*Is there a way to prevent Solr from suggesting a spelling if the word
already exists in the dictionary?*
I'm using both the IndexBasedSpellChecker and FileBasedSpellChecker
Relevant code snippets from solrconfig.xml
