search autocomplete on real things in the database, not just words #28

What do you mean by 'real things'? Can you provide a use case?

alastair commented 10 years ago

For browse we have a system where we show results for an 'entity' - e.g. if you select an artist, we show that artist, their instrument and the releases that they have performed in. If you search by text we only show items in the database that matches that text. If the text matches an artist exactly we should show the additional related items too.

Oh, this comment is on the wrong bug, it should be on #29

This bug is about the words we get when we start typing in the search box. E.g. if you type 'krish', you should get a match of "T. M. Krishna", not just "krishna"

Related to this, we have the hindustani and carnatic collections in the same solr core, and the autocomplete uses data from both of them at the same time. Need to work out how to split this - either with different field names or different cores.
