Aaron Greenspan commented on SOLR-5642:
---------------------------------------
The problem is that I have no idea what they mean, and that's why I need the
explanation.
This is a problem all throughout the web UI. The field names should be in
English (or a spoken/written non-computer language), not XML variable names
that no one knows except a few core programmers.

> Key: SOLR-5642
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5642
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: web gui
> Affects Versions: 4.6
> Reporter: Aaron Greenspan
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> Solr depends on a lot of parameters to perform queries. These parameters have
> one- or two-character names like "q" and "fq" and "fl" and "df". It would be
> extremely easy and extremely helpful to users to use tooltips in the web UI
> that could explain what these parameters actually mean, and it would be
> further helpful to link directly to the documentation for each. Right now I
> have no idea what they mean and since there's several versions of the
> documentation I'm not even sure how to find the best place to look.
> Also, the word "Dataimport" on the left should be two words: "Data Import"
> both because "dataimport" is not a word in any language and because the
> "Schema Browser" appears as two proper words.
