Hi Someone told me that ebay is using solr. I was looking at their Auto Suggest implementation and I guess they are using Shingles and the TermsComponent.
I managed to get a satisfactory implementation but I have a problem with category specific filtering. Ebay suggestions are sensitive to categories like Cars and Pets. As far as I understand it is not possible to using filters with a term query. Unless one uses multiple fields or special prefixes for the words to index I cannot think how to implement this. Is their perhaps a workaround for this limitation? Best Regards EricZ --------------------------------------- I am have a shingle type like: <fieldType name="shingle_text" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.ShingleFilterFactory" minShingleSize="2" maxShingleSize="4" /> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory" /> </analyzer> </fieldType> and a query like http://localhost:8983/solr/terms?q=*%3A*&terms.fl=suggest_text&terms.sort=count&terms.prefix=audi
