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>...

> Add more conventional search functionality to the Admin UI

> 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.
