Your wish is my command. Check out trunk, fire up Solr (ant run-
example), index example data, hit http://localhost:8983/solr/browse -
type in search box.
Just used jQuery's autocomplete plugin and the terms component for
now, on the name field. Quite simple to plug in, actually. Check the
commit diff. The main magic is doing this:
<http://localhost:8983/solr/terms?terms.fl=name&terms.prefix=i&terms.sort=count&wt=velocity&v.template=suggest
>
Stupidly, though, jQuery's autocomplete seems to be hardcoded to send
a q parameter, but I coded it to also send the same value as
terms.prefix - but this could be an issue if hitting a different
request handler where q is used for the actual query for filtering
terms on.
Cool?! I think so! :)

I don't believe Solritas supports autocompletion out of the box.
So I'm wondering if anybody has experience using the LucidWorks
distro & Solritas, plus the AJAX Solr auto-complete widget.
I realize that AJAX Solr's autocomplete support is mostly just
leveraging the jQuery Autocomplete plugin, and hooking it up to Solr
facets, but I was curious if there were any tricks or traps in
getting it all to work.
Thanks,
