I think that the idea that Uwe mentions is completely valid. Although it has a
few disadvantages:
For example, what if you want to suggest "multiword suggestions" and in your
index you have only "single word" tokens.
Query: Ferrari
Ideal suggestions: Ferrari 354 BT, Ferrari 355 C, Ferrari 356
Index have the tokens: Ferrari, 354, 355, 356, BT, C

Asunto: RE: Suggest search terms
Hi,
I just have a suggestion to your first idea of enumerating terms, which is
very fast if done right:

Much easier is to use IR.terms() but wrap a PrefixTermEnum around it (it's
in search package). Then you simply iterate (please don't forget that the
enum is already positioned on the first term!!! If no such term exists, the
enum's term() returns null). Just use a "if (enum.term() != null) do { }
while (enum.next()!=null && numberOfTermCollectex <= max)", with Lucene
trunk this is much better now, but with 3.x, you have to use this ugly
iteration.
