You have specified "spellcheck.q" in your query. The whole purpose of "spellcheck.q" is to bypass any query converter you've configured giving it raw keywords instead.
But possibly a custom query converter is not your best answer? I agree that charles > charlie is an edit distance of 2, so if everything is set up correctly then DirectSolrSpellChecker with maxEdits=2 should find it. The collate functionality as you have it set up would check the index and only give you re-written queries that are guaranteed to return hits. But there is a big caveat: If the word "charles" occurs at all in the dictionary (because any document in your index contains it), then the spellchecker (by default) assumes it is a correctly-spelled word and will not try to correct it. In this case, specify spellcheck.alternateTermCount with a non-zero value.

At the moment it seems to be producing collations based on word matches and arbitrary words from the field are picked up to form collation and so nothing corresponds to any of the titles in our set of indexed documents. Could anyone please confirm that this would work if I took the following steps. steps: 1. Get the solr4.2.war file. 2. Get to the WEB-INF lib and add the lucene-core-4.2.0.jar and the solr-core-4.2.0.jar that to the classpath to compile the MultiWordSpellingQueryConverter.java . The code for this is in my previous post in this thread. 3. jar cvf multiwordspellchecker.jar com/foo/MultiWordSpellingQueryConverter.java 4. Copy this jar to the $SOLR_HOME/lib directory. 6. Define queryConverter. Question: Where does this need to go? I have just put this somewhere between the searchComponent and the requestHandler for spell checks. 5. Start webserver. I see this jar file getting registered at startup: 2013-04-03 12:56:22,243 INFO [org.apache.solr.core.SolrResourceLoader] (coreLoadExecutor-3-thread-1) Adding 'file:/solr/lib/multiwordspellchecker.jar' to classloader 6. When I run the spell query, I don't see my print statements, so I am not sure if this code is really being called. I don't think it may be the logging that is failing but rather this code not being called at all. I would appreciate any information on what I might be doing wrong. Please help. Thanks.
