Usually, people need the spellchecker just as a component in some request handler instead of a request handler specifically designed for only spellchecking. I'd forget about that wiki and just follow the spellcheck component wiki as it not only describes the request handler but also the component, and it is being maintained up to the most recent developments in trunk and branch 3.1. > > > My site uses legal terms and as you can see, some terms don't jive with the > default spell checker so I was hoping to map the spell checker to the body > for referencing dictionary words.

In that case, you'd just follow the wiki on the component and create a spellchecking fieldType with proper analyzers (the example allright) and define a spellchecking field that has the spellcheck fieldType as type (again, like in the example). Then you'll need to configure the spellchecking component in your solrconfig. The example is, again, what you're looking for. All you need to map your document's main body to the spellchecker is a copyField directive in your schema which will copy your body field to the spellcheck field (which has the spellcheck fieldType). The example on the component wiki page should work. Many features have been added since 1.4.x but the examples should work as expected. > > > > Can someone clarify what I should be doing here?
