Index term list - using facets ?

[Paul Terray <pt...@sollan.com>]

Hi,

 

I think I am close to have a list of index terms, using facet searching.
However, I still have a question: I would like to limit the terms to a
query. My goal is to do a simple google suggest type of search (with just
one term), so I have to limit the terms to the first letters typed. Of
course, I can filter the facet results to get this, but it seems there
should be a better solution.

 

Thanks in advance.

Oh, I think you can get what you want via
q=myfield:foo*&facet=on&facet.field=myfield&facet.zeros=false

It's a roundabout way of getting the info and is likely to be slow if
your index is large.

So instead of documents matching field:foo* you want the actual terms
matching field:foo*
I think exposing lower level info from an index like this can make
sense, but it's not currently supported.

It might be nice to have a syntax to support it rather than
continually adding more query args though.

Some info that might make sense to "export":
- terms matching prefix, wildcard, fuzzy, range, etc
- docfreq of terms & number of docs in index
