Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-4157: -------------------------------------- OK, I finally got off the road and had a chance to look. Comments: 1> Looks like a really good idea. 2> It'd be really cool to have JSON and XML be formatted in the pane by default, they're ugly as it stands. But only if it's really, really easy. 3> Not quite sure what you mean by using Velocity, this appears to display the fields you ask for as it stands. 4> Long lists overrun the pane in Chrome, assuming it's something you just haven't gotten to yet. 5> I agree that the list of options are kind of intimidating, but I'm not all that concerned with simplifying it. In fact I kind of like the fact that the options are there inviting people to play with them. Let's send them to the browse handler for a more real-life "user experience", I think leaving this for mostly expert/debugging is fine. 6> What do you think should be done with debug and facet and highlight info? I'm thinking just a continuation of the pane, really just prettifying the output. You code, I'll commit <G>... Erick > Add more conventional search functionality to the Admin UI > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-4157 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4157 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: web gui > Reporter: Upayavira > Priority: Minor > Attachments: SOLR-4157.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
