Camden,

Have you seen Smiley&Pugh's Solr book?  They describe something very similar to 
what you're trying to do on p180ff.  The difference seems to be they use a 
field that only has a couple of terms so they don't bother with shingles.  The 
book makes a big point about using "spellcheck.q" in this case in order to get 
the analysis right.  I'm not sure if this is the solution but I thought I'd 
mention it.  I never tried spell checking this way because it seemed very 
limited and possibly quite expensive.

James,

Thank you, but I'm not sure that will work for my needs.  I'm very
interested in contextual spell checking.  Take for example the author
"stephenie meyer".  "stephenie" is a far less popular spelling than
"stephanie", but in this context it's the correct option.  I feel like
shingles with an un tokenized query string would be able to catch this, but
I can't find too many examples of people attempting this.
