These screenshots are from my 1440x900 laptop running Firefox 3.6 with the
window expanded to full screen (i confirmed with a helpful user on the #solr
irc channel that they see similar behavior in firefox 13)
* short-side-by-side.png - shows how even with fairly short inputs in both
text boxes, the delineation between the two tables isn't very obvious
* med-just-index.png - using slightly longer input in only the "index" text
box, you can see that the results are similar enough to be easily confused with
the short side-by-side example
* med-side-by-side.png - the same "index" input combined with comparable
"query" input is visually indistinguishable form the "index only" page, because
the "query" table has been pushed down below the fold
(med-side-by-side-below-fold.png)
* this confusion is only exaserbated when the inputs/tables get really long
(long-side-by-side.png & long-side-by-side-below-fold.png)
In my opinion:
* the fieldtype pulldown, verbose checkbox, and analyze buttons should move
above the text boxes so that the text boxes are closer to the tables they
produce
* when both text boxes are used:
** the resulting tables should be enclosed in bounding boxes with a width of
50% of the main area (just like the text boxes are right now) -- if either
table is wider then this 50%, it should get a horizontal scroll bar (even if
the other half of the page has lots of empty space
** the dividing line between the two tables should be more visibly noticable
(darker/thicker/whatever)
* when only one text box is used:
** the resulting table should be left aligned (regardless of which text box
it's the result of)
** some sort of visual cue should be provide about the text box that created
that table...
*** grey out the unused text box until/unless the user starts typing in it?
*** put color coded borders around both the text boxes and tables all the time,
so the absence of a table with the corresponding color stands out when only one
is used?
*** put an irregular shaped boarder around the table and the text box that
created it when only one is used (ie: exclude the unused text box ... think the
outline of utah when the table belongs to the "index" text box, and the mirror
image of utah when the table belongs to the "query" text box.

> Working on the tutorial, i noticed that the analysis debug page is a little
> hard to read when specifying both index and query values
> * if the inputs are short, it's not entirely obvious that you are looking at
> two tables (especially compared to how the page looks using only the "index"
> textbox)
> * if the inputs are longer, the "query" table shifts down below the fold
> where users may not even be aware of it.
> Screenshots and ideas for improvement to follow
