Hi Advait , First of all I suggest you to study Solr a little bit [1]. because your requirements are actually really simple :
1) You can simply use more than one suggest dictionary if you care to keep the suggestions separated ( keeping if a term is coming from the name or from the the category) if you don't care to keep them separated, simply use a copy field to copy both the fields in. 2) Solr supports multi valued fields since the beginning. I really suggest you to split by comma in your indexer application, providing to Solr the multi values already separated. Because they are multi values for the category field ( so it's nor analysis responsibility to split them) Cheers [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Apache+Solr+Reference+Guide 2015-06-18 13:43 GMT+01:00 Advait Suhas Pandit <adv...@retailwave.com>: > Hi, > > We run an ecommerce company and would like to use SOLR for our product > database searches. > > We have products along with the categories that they belong to.
