Hi all, I asked a question on StackOverflow <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66423970/solr-suggester-context-filter-incorrectly-applied-to-filedictionaryfactory>about a problem I was having with the suggester module, but since then I have looked into the source code of Solr, and I thinkit is a bug.
Essentially, context filtering is being applied to a suggester that is backed by a FileDictionaryFactory. According to the docs, this should not happen, and context filters should be ignored. This is my config: <searchComponent name="suggest" class="solr.SuggestComponent"> <lst name="suggester"> <str name="name">location</str> <str name="lookupImpl">AnalyzingInfixLookupFactory</str> <str name="dictionaryImpl">FileDictionaryFactory</str> <str name="sourceLocation">tdwg.txt</str> <str name="suggestAnalyzerFieldType">text_general</str> <str name="highlight">false</str> </lst> <lst name="suggester"> <str name="name">common-name</str> <str name="lookupImpl">AnalyzingInfixLookupFactory</str> <str name="dictionaryImpl">DocumentDictionaryFactory</str> <str name="field">region.vernacular_names_t</str> <str name="indexPath">common_name_suggest</str> <str name="contextField">searchable.context_ss</str> <str name="suggestAnalyzerFieldType">text_general</str> <str name="highlight">false</str> </lst> </searchComponent> I have tested this on the latest version of Solr (8.8.1). The relevant bit of source code is here <https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/spelling/suggest/SolrSuggester.java#L251>. I would expect suggestions to be null, as the combination of AnalyzingInfixLookupFactory and FileDictionaryFactor doesn't support context filtering. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Thanks, Joaquim
