Suggester assists the user by proposing an auto-completable list of queries: {{< youtube RupOQCy5DdA >}} We hope that you like the interactivity, and feel free to send feedback on the [hue-user][2] list or [@gethue][3]! **How-to** First grab a [Solr 5][4], start it and make sure that it has a suggester configured:
romain@unreal:$ ./bin/solr -e techproducts
Waiting to see Solr listening on port 8983 [/]
Started Solr server on port 8983 (pid=23696). Happy searching!
Checked core existence using Core API command:
http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=STATUS&core=techproducts
Confirm that Solr has a `suggester` configured, here named `mySuggester`:
http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr/#/techproducts/files?file=solrconfig.xml
mySuggester
FuzzyLookupFactory
