Hi,
You could simply create an autocomplete Solr Core with a simple schema
consisting of id, from, to:
Let the fieldType of "from" be String, and in the fieldType of "to" you can use
StandardTokenizer, WordDelimiterFilter and EdgeNGramFilter.
<add>
<doc>
<field name="id">john....@mycompany.com-jane.doe@mycompany.com</field>
<field name="from">john....@mycompany.com</field>
<field name="to">Jane Doe (jane....@mycompany.com)</field>
</doc>
<doc>
<field name="id">john....@mycompany.com-thomas.doe@mycompany.com</field>
<field name="from">john....@mycompany.com</field>
<field name="to">Thomas Doe (thomas....@mycompany.com)</field>
</doc>
<doc>
<field name="id">peter....@mycompany.com-another.doe@mycompany.com</field>
<field name="from">peter....@mycompany.com</field>
<field name="to">Another Doe (another....@mycompany.com)</field>
</doc>
</add>
Now, if your autocomplete query is like this:
wt=json&fl=to&qf=from:"john....@mycompany.com"&q={!q.op=AND df=to}do
Your response will now be a list of valid recepients where the from field is
current user. By using EdgeNGramFilter in the "to" field, you get the effect of
an automatic wildcard search since "John Doe" will be indexed as (conceptually)
"J Jo Joh John D Do Doe"
