Greetings!
Mikhail Khludnev, in his post to the thread "Google didn't help on this
one!", has pointed out one bug in Solr-5.3.0, and I was able to uncover
another one (which I wrote about in the same thread). Therefore, and
thankfully, I've been able to get past my configuration issues.
So
Hi Mark,
Solr allows you to provide more than one spellchecker to be used together
to provide the corrections.
This means you can provide a set of suggestions from your index and one
from an external system.
Anyway you need to provide it as a File, Solr doesn't have an automatic set
of suggestions
