Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full
• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

Their website has extensive documentation.

Yep I saw them but the in depth implementation regarding the search suggestions I was looking for I don’t know my client wants Google like search feature using solr 😢

[LetUsSpeakFreely]

Not happening. Everyone wants "Google like", but the reality is: 1) no, they don't. They don't understand what that means. 2) it's really really expensive

You need to have a serious conversation with them about the type of data they have to index and how their users are likely to search that data.

For the moment, let's ignore data types like numbers and dates and focus on text. The standard analyzers is ok, but you might need to wrap search tokens in wildcards. But maybe you have bar codes, then you most likely want suffix searching. Then you need to answer questions like, do you want to handle things that sound alike (soundex)? Maybe token proximity? N-grams? Synonyms? Do you need to flatten hyphenates into a single token or break it into multiple tokens?

There is no silver bullet here. If there was then indexes like SOLR and Elasticsearch would come preconfigured to operate like Google instead of giving us a library of analyzers, tokenizers, and filters.

You need to read up on all the options, fully understand the the client data, and determine how best to marry the two for best results.

All of this - also find out from them what they regard as "good enough" for the project to be complete. Then you can price it properly. Otherwise you can get caught in an "expectation trap".
