Tanner, Currently Solr will only make suggestions for words that are not in the dictionary, unless you specifiy "spellcheck.onlyMorePopular=true". However, if you do that, then it will try to "improve" every word in your query, even the ones that are spelled correctly (so while it might change "brake" to "break" it might also change "leg" to "log".)
You might be able to alleviate some of the pain by setting the "thresholdTokenFrequency" so as to remove misspelled and rarely-used words from your dictionary, although I personally haven't been able to get this parameter to work. It also doesn't seem to be documented on the wiki but it is in the 1.4.1. source code, in class IndexBasedSpellChecker. Its also mentioned in Smiley&Pugh's book. I tried setting it like this, but got a ClassCastException on the float value: <searchComponent name="spellcheck" class="solr.SpellCheckComponent"> <str name="queryAnalyzerFieldType">text_spelling</str> <lst name="spellchecker"> <str name="name">spellchecker</str> <str name="field">Spelling_Dictionary</str> <str name="fieldType">text_spelling</str> <str name="buildOnOptimize">true</str> <str name="thresholdTokenFrequency">.0000001</str> </lst> </searchComponent> I have it on my to-do list to look into this further but haven't yet. If you decide to try it and can get it to work, please let me know how you do it.

My question is: is there any way for it to recognize that the phase should be "break a leg" and not "brake a leg" and suggest the proper phrase?
