Answer 1

The field on which you want to configure the suggester should be store=true. It need not to be indexed. The suggester configuration will build a dictionary according to the provide configuration in the suggestComponet. The name field have stored as true where as suggest_ngram is not. You need to update the schema configuration like this:

<field name="suggest_ngram" type="text_suggest_ngram" indexed="false" stored="true"/>

Also you need to provide the parameter suggest.dictionary, the dictionary you are using for suggestions. For you it is names as default.

http://localhost:8983/solr/products/suggest?suggest=true&
       suggest.build=true&
       wt=json&
       suggest.dictionary=default&
       suggest.q=Jind

OR you can provide the dictionary configuration in requestHandler of /suggest:

<str name="suggest.dictionary">default</str>
