Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-3619:
-----------------------------------
Sure it would be nice to be GSAish. Everything with nice GUIs, point it to your
content and things just work with great relevancy. Point it on your employee
LDAP and you get a super person finder. Point it at your webshop and you sell
more...
But it's all about use cases. When I worked @ FAST, we created some 5 different
blueprint templates as starting point depending on whether it was a web crawl,
e-commerce, yellow-page, intranet etc. One size does not fit all. For our Solr
example we have chosen to demonstrate a simple product search, and that is
exactly what it is (even if it's a rather non-impressive one). If newbies try
to shuffle in some office docs of their own, chances are they won't have a clue
of how to get that done, but if they should happen to get them in, then they
won't show up in /browse without tweaking, facets will be wrong etc.
bq. I think that rather than trying to put the burden on the user right away
(don't think this is gonna be easy buster!)...
Getting started with our example(s) should be dead simple, also tweaking to do
very similar use cases. But we mislead our users by pretending that one size is
meant to fit all. Let's make the entry threshold really low - no argue about
that - but for one or more chosen use cases, and then point them in the right
direction on how to incrementally tweak things to become a great™ search.
