terms component search

[Peter Kirk <pk...@alpha-solutions.dk>]

Hi

I am trying to implement some "auto suggest" functionality, and am currently looking at the terms component (Solr 3.6).

For example, I can form a query like this:

http://solrhost/solr/mycore/terms?terms.fl=title_s&terms.sort=index&terms.limit=5&terms.prefix=Hotel+C

which searches in the "title_s" field for strings starting "Hotel C". Results could be
Hotel Chicago, 2
Hotel California, 8
Hotel Cool, 4

Is it possible to get more info in the results from this component - like return data from other fields?

For example, along with the results from the "title_s" field, the corresponding data from the "telephone" field.

Or, maybe I simply should execute a normal wildcard search.

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Yes if you want to do complex things in suggest mode, you'd better rely on
the SearchComponent...

For example, this blog post is a good read
http://www.cominvent.com/2012/01/25/super-flexible-autocomplete-with-solr/ ,
if you have complex requirements on the searched fields.

(Although your requirements seem to be more related to the results
extraction than query building)

Kind regards,
