Description

I issued a request to the /spell request handler with no misspellings, but the response still have a value of "false" for the "correctlySpelled" flag.

Using the Solr 4.0 example, I added some mini documents:

curl http://localhost:8983/solr/update?commit=true -H 'Content-type:application/csv' -d '
id,name
spel-1,aardvark abacus ball bill cat cello
spel-2,abate accord band bell cattle check
spel-3,adorn border clean clock'

Then I issued this request to the /spell handler:

curl "http://localhost:8983/solr/spell/?q=abate&indent=true"

The response indicates that no corrections were needed, but the "correctlySpelled" flag is "false" when it should be "true".

<lst name="spellcheck">
  <lst name="suggestions">
    <bool name="correctlySpelled">false</bool>
  </lst>
</lst>
