Upayavira updated SOLR-4157:
----------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
Description:
The admin UI has a 'query' pane which allows searching the index. However, this
is currently an 'expert' level feature, as you must specify exact request
parameters and interpret output XML or JSON.
I suggest we add simple versions of each. A simple query pane would give a more
conventional search interface for running queries. A simple results pane would
give HTML formatted results with features to nicely display hightlighting,
explains, etc.
To give an idea of what this might look like, I've attached a rudimentary patch
that gives an HTML option for wt which formats the query results as (somewhat
minimal) HTML.
The challenge will be in producing a search interface that is schema agnostic,
as to be really useful, it should work with any index, and not just with the
fields in the default schema (perhaps Erik Hatcher is right, this should be
backed by the velocityResponseWriter).
Thoughts welcome.
was:
The /browse interface is looking old. It also gives the impression that using
the VelocityResponseWriter to create HTML is actually a good idea.
At the same time, /browse is actually quite useful - it provides easy access to
some features such as explains, raw queries, etc, in an easy and usable way.
We also have a lovely new admin UI.
So, after some thought, it occurred to me that we should migrate the
functionality of /browse to the admin UI.
At present, in the query pane, we have an 'advanced' query pane (you just enter
request parameters) and an advanced results pane (we just show raw XML or JSON,
etc).
I suggest we add simple versions of each. A simple query pane would give a more
conventional search interface for running queries. A simple results pane would
give HTML formatted results with features to nicely display hightlighting,
explains, etc.
