---------------------------------------------------------------

As a *Lucene* issue, this is probably not a bug. However it started as a *SOLR* 
issue, where it appears more like a bug:

The Solr ref guide does not document the single-value only constraint; in fact 
it encourages using copyField to populate the "field" to use for suggestions, 
which in fact requires multiValued=true. So we can either treat it as a (Solr) 
bug and backport this issue, or add a (Solr) patch which adds a warning or 
exception when attempting to use multiVal; or treat it as a (Solr) 
documentation bug and add a note in refguide [Errata 
page|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Errata] for 4.10.x. I'm 
happy with any of these, my customer who got bit by this can run a patched 
version if need be.

Perhaps there should have been a separate SOLR issue for this?

> So if you use a multiValued field in the new suggestor it will not pick up 
> terms for any term after the first one. So it treats the first term as the 
> only term it will make it's dictionary from. 
> This is the suggestor I'm talking about:
