I have used Solr Suggester for autocomplete and it worked. I decided to add more fields as Suggester fields, in particular "body" fields for both media and node entities, added them and rebuilt the index. The autocomplete stopped working, I am getting this error now:
"responseHeader":{
"status":500,
"QTime":1},
"error":{
"msg":"suggester was not built",
"trace":"java.lang.IllegalStateException: suggester was not built\r\n\tat org.apache.lucene.search.suggest.analyzing.AnalyzingInfixSuggester.lookup(AnalyzingInfixSuggester.java:556)\r\n\tat org.apache.solr.spelling.suggest.SolrSuggester.getSuggestions(SolrSuggester.java:251)\r\n\tat org.apache.solr.handler.component.SuggestComponent.process(SuggestComponent.java:266)\r\n\tat .....,
"code":500}}
I also noticed the following in solrconfig_extra.xml (had to put <-- to make it visible):
<--requestHandler name="/suggest" class="solr.SearchHandler" startup="lazy">
<--lst name="defaults">
<--str name="suggest">true
<--str name="suggest.dictionary">und
<--str name="suggest.dictionary">10
<--/lst>
<--arr name="components">
<--str>suggest
<--/arr>
<--/requestHandler-->
I found that the issue with the second suggest.dictionary = 10 was reported a while ago, but it is still there with search_api_solr ver. 4.2.12
I believe it should be changed to suggest.count = 10, but it worked with that before I added Suggested fields.
Postponed: needs info
4.2
Code
4.2.x is not supported anymore. I assume that the error is already fixed in 4.3.x. What happens if you update the module?
