My simple but effective solution to that problem was to replace the white spaces in the items you index for autosuggest with some special character, then your wildcarding will work with the whole phrase as you desire.
Index: "mike_shaffer" Query: "mike_sha*" -----Original Message----- From: mike anderson [mailto:saidthero...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 7:33 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: phrase query with autosuggest (SOLR-1316) It seemed like SOLR-1316 was a little too long to continue the conversation. Is there support for quotes indicating a phrase query. For example, my autosuggest query for "mike sha" ought to return "mike shaffer", "mike sharp", etc. Instead I get suggestions for "mike" and for "sha", resulting in a collated result "mike r meyer shaw", Cheers, Mike
