Hi,

There is a spellings.txt file in ezfind/java/solr/conf folder where you can add your words. You will need to restart the solr service after you change the file.

To add more detail to Ivo's response: by default Solr uses the words in the index for spell check suggestions - spellings.txt is not active.

If you activate it, Solr will only use the words found in that file as a dictionary to find suggestions. You need to edit solrconfig.xml to activate that file (and restart solr after making your changes)

Thanks Gaetano,

I used this feature a year ago and it +seems that my detail memory does not last that long :)

Thank you guys!

Couple of questions..

- Gaetano, when you say Solr uses the words in the index... which index?! In the .ini file it says Spellcheck DefaultDictionary "default"..

- And.. how to restart Solr?

Solr stores all data for searching in its own special file format - this is called index. Default dictionary should be based on all words in the index.

Solr restart depends on how you run it: with tomcat or jetty?

I guess it's time to look deeper into this powerful search extension...

That is already running and functional on the final server, where all I need to do is just handle some spellcheck flaws..

By the way where can I find this special file format called index?! :)

...

In my testing environment, I have an eZ Find extension listed among the available extensions, which I guess came included during installation, based on ezwebin (?!).

I tried to activate it: the admin displays a nice tab for ez Find, but that's all, since then the search functionality is not working anymore.

Consider that I need to start from scratch with eZ Find...

You don't want to mess with index directly, it is a folder with several binary files. Configuration files are in ezfind/java/solr/conf folder.

Here is a good place to start: http://doc.ez.no/Extensions/eZ-Find/2.3/Installation/Solr-backend

I forgot to ask another thing regarding this Spell check suggestion..

If I launch a search while I am browsing the Italian sitaccess, for instance, on a misspelled word such as "sistem", it suggests "sistema", which is correct because that's the Italian word and surely enough it's what I am expecting!

But if I launch the search while I am browsing the English site, or the French site, instead of suggesting "system" or "système" it still suggests "sistema"..

What do I need to do in order to get the right suggestion according to the current language?
