Solr Searchbox with Auto-complete / Suggestion?

Question

To work with Solr, I need my searchbox to be suggesting whenever user type.. with a dropdown menu. How can i get it done? Any existing example?

Solution 1

Here is an article I wrote about different ways to make auto suggestions and how to make the right choice. If you want something even more advanced and flexible there is this other article, which contains an example as well.

Solution 2

Have a look at the Suggester component - http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Suggester/

The article is quite old! I have updated the link though as the blogpost has been moved a couple of times meanwhile ;) thanks for pointing that out
