Hi, I'd like to clarify our use case a bit more. We want to return the exact search query as a suggestion only if it is present in the index. So in my example we would expect to get the suggestion "foo" for the query "foo" but no suggestion "abc" for the query "abc" (because "abc" is not in the dictionary).
For me this use case seems quite common. Say, we have three products in our store: "foo", "foo 1", "foo 2". If the user types "foo" in the product search, we want to suggest all our products in the dropdown. Is this something we can do with the Solr suggester?
