Actually I disagree Alex. We build JS apps that talk straight to Solr all the time.
However, we are sure to lock it down pretty heavily. Moreover, these cases almost never have sensitive information. You need to think through the worst case. As search is often a secondary artifact of a primary database, you can often rebuild the data in the worst case. So to me it's not like giving users access to your database. The risk is (usually) pretty low. We have a sample solr nginx proxy that disallows problematic parameters and white lists the search endpoint https://github.com/o19s/solr_nginx We also have a framework Spyglass if you are interested in Ember https://github.com/o19s/spyglass -Doug On Thu, Nov 26, 2015 at 9:30 AM, Alexandre Rafalovitch <arafa...@gmail.com> wrote: > You should not be exposing Solr directly to the user, that's like > giving them a database admin account.
