Using collate in Solr Suggester Component?

votes

Usecase

Our Solr index contains documents of many countries. Some documents should be only visible in some countries. Thus suggestions provided to a user in the USA should only contain documents visible in the USA.

Approaches to solving the problem

a) When I'm using the Solr SpellCheckComponent for suggestions, I can activate collate=true. This will filter the suggestions to all provided Solr filter queries. http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/suggest?fq=country:us&q=pro

b) But I want to use advanced suggesters, such as AnalyzingInfixSuggester, so I have to use the Solr SuggestComonent. Unfortunately I can't find a way to activate collate. Thus my filter queries are ignored for the suggestions, and all products for all countries are returned.

Questions

a) Is there a way, to activate collate in SuggestComponent?

b) Or is it possible to use advanced suggesters with the SpellCheckComponent?

you are looking for Context Filtering. That feature is what you use to filter some suggestions with the advanced suggesters.

Add this row to the suggester configuration:

<str name="contextField">country</str>

Add the request parameter to the suggest query:

suggest.cfq=us
