Hi Jack,

- and searching for "solr suggest" - but haven't figured out how to get
search suggestions from solr

There're two easy ways out of the box that I see currently:

A) using a requesthandler with a TermsComponent

Advantage: easy and fast
Disadvantage: no filter queries


B) using faceting with facet.prefix and an emtpy q parameter (don't forget to set rows=0)

Advantage: you can use filter queries and pretty much anything else that works with the standard request handler
Disadvantage: it's a bit slower than the TermsComponent
Note: There might be room for improvement by configuring a dedicated request handler with only a faceting component

With our TYPO3 Solr integration we first went with A, but then had to switch to B as we needed filters. So I would suggest to go with B.
