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". > clarify distnction between index & query tables on analysis debug pages > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-3529 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3529 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: web gui > Reporter: Hoss Man > Assignee: Stefan Matheis (steffkes) > Fix For: 4.0 > > Attachments: SOLR-3529.patch, SOLR-3529.patch, > long-side-by-side-below-fold.png, long-side-by-side.png, med-just-index.png, > med-query-only.png, med-side-by-side-below-fold.png, med-side-by-side.png, > short-side-by-side.png > > > 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 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
