Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-3529:
--------------------------------------

OK, I _will_ make a comment or two... But understand that my UI design skills 
are legendary... legendarily bad.

> Let's not default to verbose. That's real intimidating for someone seeing it 
> for the first time.

> Let's remove one of the entry fields. 99% of the time I really _want_ to see 
> the same input go through at least the index and query chains. I'd rather put 
> different text in a single entry field on those rare occasions when I want 
> different index and query terms analyzed than copy all the time.

> I think it's _extremely_ valuable to have side-by-side display. When someone 
> just starting looks at, say, WDFF on a side-by-side screen, it gives them 
> information that they'd never notice otherwise. If this is only in 
> non-verbose mode, fine.

> I think that having the sliders for long input when side-by-side is 
> preferable to stacking anything vertically. Most of the time, I'm only 
> worried about a few terms anyway and the usually fit side-by-side.

> Putting on my newbie hat, it's not obvious that the really cool display of 
> the class when you hover over the abbreviations for the tokenizers/filters is 
> available. Perhaps a note somewhere "hover over abbreviations to see the 
> definition"? What'd be really cool is to show the complete definition in the 
> hover box (e.g. the catenateWords, catenateNumbers from WDFF). Don't quite 
> know how to get it to the UI, but.. <G>....

> I thought a bit about MultiTermAware stuff, and it's a sticky wicket for the 
> same reasons it's always been one, this bypasses parsing. Can we cheat here? 
> I have in mind some weird bit where we detect wildcards on input, and somehow 
> send all the wildcard terms through the multiterm chain and put them back in 
> the display in place of the wildcards that went through the whole chain. I 
> _like_ making Stefan work hard <G>... OK, maybe I can help. Perhaps we can 
> colorize this switch with a note about it somehow to signal that "something 
> you may not have expected happened".

> 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
