Is there a way to get a list of all the words in the solr spellcheck index?

I'm using Solr's SpellCheckComponent with IndexBasedSpellChecker. Wondering if there's a way to get an output of all the words in the dictionary.

Might help us catch some of the misspellings on our site.

Solution

  • yes, there is. IndexBasedSpellChecker, according to the doc: "The IndexBasedSpellChecker uses a Solr index as the basis for a parallel index used for spell checking. It requires defining a field as the basis for the index terms "

    So it just uses one field you choose from the index. To enumerate all terms on a field you use the Terms component and you set terms.fl to that field. If you have lots of terms, you could play do some scrolling with terms.lower, terms.limit and terms.upper to get the info in multiple calls.
