I don't think it is possible with SpellCheckComponent. But note that only the first search pays the price, if you don't change (q, sort, rows, count) then subsequent queries hit the cache. So I'd suggest you search for a dummy value (or *:*), make fl=<your_unique_key> (for minimal payload) and ignore the documents returned. -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.
