How to get the suggester component working in SolrNet?

Question

I have configured my solrconfig.xml and schema.xml to query for the suggestions.

I am able to get the suggestions from the url

http://localhost:8080/

In order to execute your query against the /suggest request handler that you have setup, you will need to set the qt Solr parameter using the ExtraParameters in your SolrNet QueryOptions like below:

 new SolrBaseRepository.Instance().Start();
 var solr = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance>();
 var options = new QueryOptions
 {
     FilterQueries = new ISolrQuery[] { new SolrQueryByField("type", type) },
     ExtraParams = new Dictionary{{"qt", "suggest"}},
 };
 var results = solr.Query(keyword, options);
 return results;

Otherwise your query is still executing against the standard /select request handler (or whatever you have defined as the default in your solrconfig.xml).
