Upayavira created SOLR-4157:
-------------------------------
Summary: 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
Attachments: SOLR-4157.patch
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.
