Luckily, Solr supports JSON results and even JSOP, which means we can do all the code for searching in our web page.
Note that I'm using the Solr demo that comes with the distribution, your search results might have different attributes depending on the schema.
<html>
<head>
<title>Solr Search</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Solr Search</h3>
Query: <input id="query" />
<button id="search">Search</button>
<hr />
<div id="results">
</div>
</body>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
function on_data(data) {
$('#results').empty();
var docs = data.response.docs;
$.each(docs, function(i, item) {
$('#results').prepend($('<div>' + item.name + '</div>'));
});
var total = 'Found ' + docs.length + ' results';
$('#results').prepend('<div>' + total + '</div>');
}
function on_search() {
var query = $('#query').val();
if (query.length == 0) {
return;
}
var url='http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?wt=json&json.wrf=?&' +
'q=' + query;
$.getJSON(url, on_data);
}
function on_ready() {
$('#search').click(on_search);
/* Hook enter to search */
$('body').keypress(function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == '13') {
on_search();
}
});
}
$(document).ready(on_ready);
</script>
</html> To run the Solr demo do extract the distribution, then
cd example
java -jar start.jar > /dev/null &
cd exampledocs
./post.sh *.xml
