To do spellCheck in Solr you need to follow below given steps:

1. In your solrconfig.xml make following changes:

Most important add solr.SpellCheckComponent to solrconfig.xml file. As shown below:

<searchComponent name=”spellcheck” class=”solr.SpellCheckComponent”> // class for spellCheck mechanism
<lst name=”spellchecker”>
<str name=”classname”>solr.IndexBasedSpellChecker</str>
<str name=”spellcheckIndexDir”>./spellchecker</str> /*directory name which holds the spellcheck index*/
<str name=”field”>content</str>
<str name=”buildOnCommit”>true</str>
</lst>
</searchComponent>

2. Add handler to use above defined components. As shown below:

<requestHandler name=”standard” class=”solr.SearchHandler” default=”true”>
<lst name=”defaults”>
<str name=”echoParams”>explicit</str>
<str name=”spellcheck”>true</str>
<str name=”spellcheck.collate”>true</str>
</lst>
<arr name=”last-components”>
<str>spellcheck</str>
</arr>
</requestHandler>

3. Now , make changes to schema.xml file:

     <field name=”content” type=”text” indexed=”true” stored=”false” multiValued=”true”/>

<fieldType name=”text” positionIncrementGap=”100″>
<analyzer>
<tokenizer class=”solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory”/>
<filter class=”solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory” pattern=”‘” replacement=”” replace=”all” />
