Essentially it's querying for field values rather than documents. The
underlying use case would be, when typing in a quick search box, the drill
down menu may contain matches on authors, on doctitles, and potentially on
other fields.
Still thanks for your response and hopefully I'm making it clearer.

Hi Bing,
hmh, I implemented myself an autosuggest component that does exactly
this. You could specify which field you wanted to query, give an
optional weight to them, and the component returned a list of all fields
and values beginning with the queried string. Either combined or per
field, depending on your configuration.
However, that was with Solr 1.4.0, when there was no genuine suggest
component available. Since then, the Suggester component has been
implemented: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Suggester/
This relies on the spell check dictionary and works better than a simple
term dictionary approach. And that's the reason why I didn't bother my
old code any more.
So maybe you're simply looking for the suggester component? If not, I
can try to make my old-style component work with a current Solr version
and spread it around. Just tell me.
Greetings,
Kuli
