If you can run your app on Rails, look at Flare: http:// wiki.apache.org/solr/Flare
Indeed. Flare is _designed_ to be a Solr UI in Rails. It currently is fairly rudimentary, though we now have solid faceted browsing, full-text search with Ajax drop-down suggestions, saved searches (for the duration of your session currently). So, it's getting there, but needs to be generified and pushed into Rails plugins to be easily reusable in your own Rails app.
We discuss Flare on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] e-mail list, so subscribe over there to jump in further.
It would be gool to gave a Grails version of Flare....if anyone has extra time on their hands...hah.
Nah, JRuby instead! :) Flare should ideally be runnable in either regular Ruby on Rails or via JRuby, though I've not tried it yet myself.
