The "syn_index" here is your Lucene index from which you want to use as the source for words. Spell checker processes each token to create n-grams which are then stored into a lucene index at the "spellCheckIndexDir" or in memory. This is why you need to specify both sourceLocation and spellcheckIndexDir. If you do not give spellCheckIndexDir, spell checker will create a Lucene index in-memory, so it should still work. Are you sure you gave a build command before issuing the query? > When I give the build command the spellcheckIndexDir gets populated > reading the "syn_index". Can we avoid this duplication? Spell checker needs a Lucene index to work. It creates a new one and adds tokens after some processing to this index. There is no way to avoid creation of another index at present. However, it should be possible to modify it to store it's fields inside an existing Lucene index (maybe even Solr's own index).

Sure, please go ahead. Thanks! -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.
