Solr Suggester

An improved Suggestion-Handler for Solr

This is an update of the Vind Suggestion Handler compatible with Solr 9+.

Usage

1. Add the following library to your Solr's lib-directory:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>io.redlink.solr</groupId>
       <artifactId>solr-advanced-suggester</artifactId>
       <version>${suggester.version}</version>
   </dependency>

2. Within solrconfig.xml configure a dedicated suggestion-handler:

   <requestHandler name="/suggester"
                   class="io.redlink.solr.suggestion.SuggestionRequestHandler">
       <lst name="defaults">
           <!-- enable suggestions -->
           <str name="suggestion">true</str>
           <!-- create suggestions based on the following field -->
           <str name="suggestion.df">suggestions</str>
           <!-- limit the suggestions to 10 terms -->
           <str name="suggestion.term.limit">10</str>
       </lst>
   </requestHandler>

   For further details have a look at the solr-configuration used in the test.
