Hi Marian, I guess that your problem isn't related to the number of results, but to the component's configuration. The configuration that you show is meant to set up an autocomplete component that will suggest terms from an incomplete user input (something similar to what google does while you're typing in the search box), see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Suggester. That's why your suggestions to "place" are "places" and "placed", all sharing the "place" prefix. But when you search for "placw", the component doesn't return any suggestion, because in your index no term begins with "placw".
You can learn how to correctly configure a spellchecker here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SpellCheckComponent. Also, I'd recommend to take a look at the example's solrconfig, because it provides an example spellchecker configuration.
