Mark Miller commented on SOLR-4157:
-----------------------------------
I have not really look at /browse, so I cannot comment there, but +1 on adding
a more conventional search UI option to the admin ui!
> Migrate Browse 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

> 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.
> 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.
> Thoughts welcome.
