That reference was regarding my skills not Solr's. I think Michael pointed out one of my problems i.e. I was using the Search field that had been stemmed. I will look at creating an alternate field just for the suggester.

Re: Solr Suggester Autocomplete Working Example
Thank you Michael. I will look at safaribooksonline.com later today when I create my account. I am not sure how to use AnalyzingInfixSuggester. I googled a bit, and I can find the source code, but not how to use it. You are perfectly correct when you say that I am using a field also used for searching and which has been stemmed. I need to look into setting up another field for the suggester. I will post here when I have questions about this. Thanks again.

Actually, you have a capability to do unbelievable level of customization in Solr, starting from schema definition and down to writing custom components in Java. Or even completely rebuilding Solr the way you want from sources. Or was that a reference to your current skills rather than than Solr's? I think that should be fixable as well. Just keep learning and asking questions. We'll try to help. As to the suggester, it may make sense to explain what kind of text you are providing and what results you might be expecting. A bit more details that you've given already. There are several different implementations, each with its own trade-offs. Regards, Alex.

Please go ahead and play with autocomplete on safaribooksonline.com/home - if you are not a subscriber you will have to sign up for a free trial. We use the AnalyzingInfixSuggester. From your description, it sounds as if you are building completions from a field that you also use for searching -- maybe it is stemmed, and that's why you are seeing the weird partial words. To get good results from the suggester you will probably need to set up a special field to use as a source of suggestions that uses appropriate text analysis. -Mike On 2/2/2015 11:26 AM, O.
