RE: Solr + autocomplete

["Park, Michael" <Mi...@brown.edu>]

Thanks Ryan,

This looks like the way to go.  However, when I set up my schema I get,
"Error loading class 'solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory'".  For some reason
the class is not found.  I tried the stable 1.2 build and even tried the
nightly build.  I'm using "<filter class="solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory"
minGramSize="1" maxGramSize="20"/>".

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike

Solr does not provide an autocomplete UI, but it can return JSON that a 
JS library can use to populate an autocomplete.

Depending on you index size/ query speed, you may be fine with a 
standard faceting prefix filter.  If the index is large, you may want to

index using the EdgeNGramFilterFactory.

Will I need to use Solr 1.3 with the EdgeNGramFilterFactory in order to
get the autosuggest feature?

: "Error loading class 'solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory'".  For some reason

EdgeNGramFilterFactory didn't exist when Solr 1.2 was released, but the 
EdgeNGramTokenizerFactory did.  (the javadocs that come with each
release 
list all of the various factories in that release)
