Solritas is a way to view Solr responses in a more user friendly way,
it isn't going to help with the underlying suggest mechanism, just the
presentation of it.

Hi,
I've seen some posts on using SOLR-1316 or Solritas for
autocomplete. Wondered what is the best solution for my use case:
1) I would like to have an "hierarchical" autocomplete. For example,
I have a "Country" dropdown list and a "City" textbox. A user would
select a country from the dropdown list, and then type out the City
in the textbox. Based on which country he selected, I want to limit
the autocomplete suggestions to cities that are relevant for the
selected country.
This hierarchy could be multi-level. For example, there may be a
"Neighborhood" textbox. The autocomplete suggestions for
"Neighborhood" would be limited to neighborhoods that are relevant
for the city entered by the user in the "City" textbox.
2) I want to have autocomplete suggestions that includes non-prefix
matches. For example, if the user type "auto", the autocomplete
suggestions should include terms such as "automata" and "build
automation".
3) I'm doing autocomplete for tags. I would like to allow multi-word
tags and use comma (",") as a separator for tags. So when the use
hits the space bar, he is still typing out the same tag, but when he
hits the comma key, he's starting a new tag.
Would SOLR-1316 or Solritas work for the above requirements? If they
do how do I set it up? I can't really find much documentation on
SOLR-1316 or Solritas in this area.
Thanks.
