The docs for the SpellCheckComponent say
"The SpellCheckComponent is designed to provide inline spell checking
of queries without having to issue separate requests."
I would like to issue just a spell check query, I dont care about it
being inline and piggy-backing off a normal search query.
How would I achieve this?
I tried monkeying with making a new requestHandler but using class =
"solr.SearchHandler" always tries to do a normal search.
I succeeded in adding inline spell checking to the default request
handler by *adding*
<arr name="last-components">
<str>spellcheck</str>
</arr>
to its requestHandler config - I would like to *remove* the default
search component - maybe by making a new request handler which just
does spell checking?
Is something like this possible?
<requestHandler name="/spellcheck" class="solr.SearchHandler">
<!-- default values for query parameters -->
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="spellcheck.count">5</str>
</lst>
<arr name="first-components">
<str>spellcheck</str>
</arr>
<!-- remove default search component -->
<arr name="remove-components">
<str>default</str>
</arr>
</requestHandler>
Now, I can sort of achieve what I want by in fact a normal search but
then using a dummy value for my "q" parameter (for me "00000000000000"
works) and then I get no search docs back, but I do get the spell
suggestions I want, driven by the "spellcheck.q" parameter.
But this seems very hacky and Solr is still having to run a search
against my dummy value.
A roundabout way of asking: how can I fire off *just* a spell check query?
Thanks in advance
