Different ways to make auto suggestions with Solr

From the post:

Nowadays almost every website has a full text search box as well as the auto suggestion feature in order to help users to find what they are looking for, by typing the least possible number of characters possible. The example below shows what this feature looks like in Google. It progressively suggests how to complete the current word and/or phrase, and corrects typo errors. That’s a meaningful example which contains multi-term suggestions depending on the most popular queries, combined with spelling correction.

Starts with seven (7) questions you should ask yourself about auto-suggestions and then covers four methods for implementing them in Solr.

You can have the typical word completion seen in most search engines or you can be more imaginative, using custom dictionaries.
