Let me try and get a better idea of what you're after. Is it that your users might query a combination of irrelevant terms and misspelled terms, so you want the ability to ignore the irrelevant terms but still get suggestions for the misspelled terms?
For instance if someone wanted "q=christmas wrapping papr&mm=0&fq=item:in_stock", but "christmas" was not in the index and you wanted to return results for just "wrapping paper", the problem is... - by default the spellchecker doesn't see this as a problem because it has hits (mm=0 and "wrapping" matches something). So you get neither individual words back nor collations from the spellchecker. - with "spellcheck.collateParam.mm=100" it tries to fix both "papr" and "christmas" but can't fix "christmas" because spelling isn't the problem here (it is an irrelevant term not in the index). So while you get words suggested there are no collations. The individual words would be helpful, but you're not sure because they might all apply to items that do not match "fq=item:in_stock". Is this the problem?

The collate functionality helps with this but seems to only work with default AND queries - our use case is for default OR queries. I also saw that there is now a spellcheck.collateParam.XX param which allows you to override params from the original query - the example mentioned was to override the mm param to be 100% which would make the collated query default AND. This doesn't quite do what we want either though because it seems like all collations would be thrown out if one of the correctly spelled terms in the query did not satisfy the fq params. We don't want it to check that the correctly spelled terms MUST be in results, just that each correction (individually) would result in some hits taking into account the fqs. I was wondering whether it is possible (and what the perf overhead would be) to use the SolrIndexSearcher.getDocSet(Query, DocSet) method to check that each correction being considered (the Query) matches some docs taking into account the fqs (the DocSet)? Would appreciate other suggestions/ideas if this isn't feasible. Thanks! - Nalini
