Hi Stephan,

> It's O.K. for searching, and it doesn't really matter for indexing. But when it comes to suggestion, the user experience is quite slow. Not really slow like "a couple of seconds", but 80ms feel different than 40. It's just not as responsive as I would expect a really nice auto suggestion. That's quite obviouse because 25ms ping means two times 25ms for suggest interaction, one time for the request and one time for the response. Plus PHP rendering on top.

As you already found out, suggestions (or rather auto complete in our 
case) is not that fast. The reason behind this is the implementation 
we're using in Solr.

We're using Facets as we need to use filtering to prevent sensitive 
keywords showing up in auto complete. There are faster implementations 
for auto complete, but you cannot use filters when using them.

Also back then, facetting was the "best practice" to do auto complete, 
newer implementation came up after that.

The solution here would be to have different implementations depending 
on a site's need. That is basically on the list, but does not have a 
high priority - on our end at least and priority can be adjusted with 
sponsoring and/or patches ;)


Best,
Ingo
