Not sure if this has ever come up (or perhaps even implemented without me knowing) , but I'm interested in doing Fuzzy search over multiple fields using Solr.
What I mean is the ability to returns documents based on some 'distance calculation' without documents having to match 100% to the query. Usecase: a user is searching for a tv with a couple of filters selected. No tv matches all filters. How to come up with a bunch of suggestions that match the selected filters as closely as possible? The hard part is to determine what 'closely' means in this context, etc. This relates to (approximate) nearest neighbor, Kd-trees, etc. Has anyone ever tried to do something similar? any plugins, etc? or reasons Solr/Lucene would/wouldn't be the correct system to build on?
