Uwe Schindler commented on SOLR-3776:
-------------------------------------
I did some testing on the weekend and found out that Jaspell's fuzzy algorithm
is not really useful for suggester, because it can do only prefix matching or a
fuzzy match, but not combined. This means, if you enter a prefix term, the
jaspell suggest algorithm only returns results in the ternary search tree that
are exactly the distance away from the entered text. It would be better to
match the "prefix" in a fuzzy way, but the current approach does not do this
and I see no solution how to do this.
>From my code analysis, the remaining code to do prefix matching is identical
>to TSTLookup, so I wonder why we have both at all? Let's remove the Jaspell
>one completely, its just the same concept with more ugly code than the
>straight-forward TSTLookup!
I will close this issue as "won't fix".
> Parse NamedList for JaspellLookup factory, so fuzzy and edit distance can be
> enabled

> Curretly JaspellLookup in Lucene already supports enabling fuzzy matches in
> its ternary tree, but the factory in Solr ignores the NamedList completely
> and just uses "new JaspellLookup()". This should be extended, so fuzzy
> suggestions would be possible (if dictionary is not too big). This is better
> than no alternative until a FST-based fuzzy work -> Mike, hey! :-)
