Velocity UI with Analyzing Infix Suggester?
Does anyone have the new suggester working in the Velocity browse UI? In 6.5.1, it uses the terms component.
I could probably figure out how to do that in Velocity, but if someone has already done that, it would be great.
We use the Velocity UI as an internal exploration and diagnostic search page.

The problem with the suggest response is that the suggest.q value is used as an attribute in the JSON response. That is just weird.
Is there some way to put in a wildcard in the Velocity selector? “$response.response.terms.name” works for /terms, but /suggest is different. And I’m running two suggesters anyway, both fuzzy and infix.

Erik, Do you use a separate collection so it can be smaller and thereby faster? Or so you can keep good performance on the the main collection server? In my mind, the performance of the as-you-type is more important than the regular search.

Walter -
I’ve done several one-off demos that have incorporated as-you-type Ajax actions into /browse. The first one I did was “instant search” (not suggest) and left that sitting over at my “instant_search” branch - of svn(!). See the top two commits listed here: https://github.com/erikhatcher/lucene-solr-svn/commits/instant_search
Lately I’ve been building typeahead solutions using a separate collection rather than the Suggester component and wiring that into /browse with just this sort of thing:
$(function() { $(‘#search_box').bind("keyup",load_results); });
where load_results() does this:
$(‘#results’).load(…url with q=<search box contents>…)
It’s awesome to hear you use wt=velocity - made my day! And by “in 6.5.1” you mean it is in the way old tech products configset where it uses an ancient jquery.autocomplete feature. You could probably adapt that bit straightforwardly to another endpoint and adjusting the `extraParams` in there appropriately. The trick used here is that the response from /terms is simply a single suggestion per line in plain text, by way of using wt=velocity with v.template=suggest:
#foreach($t in $response.response.terms.name)
$t.key
#end
Adjust that template to deal with your suggester end-point response so that it writes out one per line as plain text and you’re there. Happy to help further if you run into any issues.
And yes, it’d be nice if this got built-in more modernly into the out of the box /browse. If you want to open a JIRA and hack through it together I’m game.
