Hey Search users,
The upcoming Hue version supports [Solr Suggester][1] and makes your data easier to search! Suggester assists the user by proposing an auto-completable list of queries:
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:
{{< highlight bash >}}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
{{< /highlight >}}
Confirm that Solr has a `suggester` configured, here named `mySuggester`:
{{< highlight bash >}}
http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr/#/techproducts/files?file=solrconfig.xml
mySuggester
FuzzyLookupFactory
DocumentDictionaryFactory
cat
price
string
false
{{< /highlight >}}
then activate the suggester in the Hue Dashboard settings:
and see the help in the query box:
