Hi all, I've written a user interface for Solr (Spring web application) which I'd be willing to donate if people are interested.
You can see a demo here http://larsko.dyndns.org:8080/solr-ui/search.html, SVN repository is here http://larsko.dyndns.org/svn/solr-ui/. Note in particular http://larsko.dyndns.org/svn/solr-ui/documentation/manual.pdf for a short manual. Please be patient, the server this is running on doesn't have a lot of processing power or upstream bandwidth ;) The purpose of adding this user interface to Solr would be twofold; first, serve as a demonstration of Solr's capabilities (running on a server linked to from the website, probably like the demo above), and second, give people a starting point/inspiration for implementing their own user interfaces. The special feature is that it supports some form of hierarchical faceting (explained in the manual). The data the demo searches comes from the wikipedia selection for schools. The subject index pages are used to build the hierarchy. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Lars
