Hi Eric, Sorry, I think I wasn't very clear in explaining what we need to do.
We don't really need to do any complicated overriding, just want to change the DirectSpellChecker to issue a query for every correction it finds *with fq params from the original query taken into account* so that we can check if the correction would actually result in some hits. I was thinking of implementing this using the IndexSearcher.search(Query query, Filter filter, int n) method where 'query' is a regular TermQuery (the term is the correction) and 'filter' would represent the fq params. What I'm not sure about is how to convert the fq params from Solr into a Filter object and whether this is something we need to build ourselves or if there's an existing API for this. Also, I'm new to this code so not sure if I'm approaching this the wrong way. Any advice/pointers are much appreciated.
