Let's clear up some things about how Solr works. 1. Solr matches individual words, not the whole text. So "Jason Bourne" is split into ["Jason", "Bourne"]. The leading ".*" in your pattern does not match preceding words, it would match the beginning of a single word.
2. Query time wildcards test every word in the index. This might be a billion words. Of course that is slow. This is why we try to do things at index time. With ngrams, there is one lookup, not a billion wildcard matches. 3. Regexes will almost always be the slowest way to do something in Solr, and are almost always too slow for production. Now, what are you trying to do for the user? It seems like you have decided on a solution and are asking about that. Solr already has many built-in solutions, so if we know the root problem, we may find an easy solution. wunder On Jun 6, 2013, at 4:53 AM, Prathik Puthran wrote: > Basically I want the Suggester to return for "Jason Bourne" as suggestion > for ".*Bour.*" regex. > > Thanks, > Prathik > > > On Thu, Jun 6, 2013 at 12:52 PM, Prathik Puthran < > prathik.puthra...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> This works even now i.e. when I search for "Jas" it suggests "Jason >> Bourne".
