SpellCheckComponent = choosing which one...

[Norberto Meijome <fr...@meijome.net>]

Hi there,
I am using the an almost default, config of spellcheck component ( details @ very end of email).  I have the 3 spellcheckers defined, 'default', 'jarowinkler' and 'file'. 

I tried adding spellcheck.name=jarowinkler&spellcheck.build=true  , and with spellcheck.reload=true as well , but:

 - i cannot see any updates in the files in {my_core}/conf/data/spellchecker_jarow directory .

 - I get exactly the same suggestions as with default (which is not really indicative of anything, as I don't know how different they are supposed to be :) )

what am I doing wrong ?

thanks!
B

Furthermore, I rm -rf the data directory. I issued a build & reload with spellcheck.name=jarowinkler, and the index in spellchecker_default got updated. 

Is it because both spellcheckers point to the same field +  the indexing is the same for both spellcheckers, only the distance measurement is different => a SOLR / Lucene optimisation kicks in to only maintain 1 index? 

cheers,
