: We use Solr along with Drupal for our content management needs. The : solrconfig.xml that we have from Drupal mentions that "we do not : spellcheck by default" and here is our request handler from : solrconfig.xml. : : First question - why is it recommended that we do not spellcheck by : default
"recommended" is a missleading word -- what that configuration says is that it won't bother to spell check unless the URL used to query solr includes a "spellcheck=true" param ... it's possible that something the Drupal UI has it's own means of deciding when to send that param. : Secondly - if we add spellcheck in <last-components> tag - will : spellcheck be enabled? in the config you pasted, it's already there -- so you shouldn't need to add that (but since you don't show us what the searchComponent declaration for your spellcheck component looks like, we have no way of guessing if it's entirely configured properly -- in particular there may not be anything building your spellcheck micro-index) : We are using basic Solr and Drupal configurations - only now - we are : looking at tweaking solrconfig and schema files. Any help is greatly since Drupal packages the solr configs, you should probably consult a drupal list about how to enable the spell check options "the drupal way" before modifying the configs (i have no idea what the drupal/solr feature expects as far as modifications when upgrading) -Hoss
