Configure the Suggest Component

Choose a suggester implementation from the Solr Suggester documentation, and define it in the solrconfig.xml file.

You can edit the solrconfig.xml file inside of the Fusion Admin UI. Navigate to System > Solr Config, and select the solrconfig.xml file to begin.

Solr Config edit in Fusion Admin UI

In this example, create a suggester called mySuggester in solrconfig.xml using the AnalyzingInfixLookupFactory. Define description as the suggester’s target field:

<searchComponent name="suggest" class="solr.SuggestComponent">
  <lst name="suggester">
    <str name="name">mySuggester</str>
    <str name="lookupImpl">AnalyzingInfixLookupFactory</str>
    <str name="dictionaryImpl">DocumentDictionaryFactory</str>
    <str name="field">description</str>
    <str name="suggestAnalyzerFieldType">string</str>
    <str name="buildOnStartup">false</str>
  </lst>
</searchComponent>

Ensure that the field used for autosuggest is correctly defined in the schema:

<field name="description" type="text_general" stored="true" indexed="true" multivalued="false" />

Once modified, upload the custom configuration files to ZooKeeper using ZooKeeper’s command line interface.

Use the zkcli command putfile to replace an existing ZooKeeper configuration file. Typically, CONFIG_NAME will likely represent the name of the collection. Alternatively, the name represents a custom configuration.
```
https://FUSION_HOST:FUSION_PORT/apps/solr-dist/server/scripts/cloud-scripts/zkcli.sh -z localhost:2181 -cmd putfile /configs/CONFIG_NAME/solrconfig.xml /Desktop/solrconfig.xml
```
To enable autosuggest in Fusion, add the suggest request handler to the allowed request handlers in the Solr Query stage of the query pipeline.

Build the suggester should using …/suggest?suggest.build=true. For example:
```
http://localhost:8764/api/query-pipelines/PIPELINE/collections/COLLECTION_NAME/suggest?suggest.build=true
```
