: clarification about the XML format returned by a search query: in : fact, I cannot find any official document describing the precise : format of the document returned.
that's because no one has every really taken much time to document it .. in general the XML format is considered fairly "self describing" ... the interesting variations come about depending on what request handler you use (the XML format is extremely generic, request handlers can put almost any data into it as long as the data can be described in terms of simple datastructures) : Particularly, I'm interested in understanding if search terms of the : query would be returned in the result, as happens in Lucene. i'm not sure what you mean by "as happens in Lucene" but there is a core request params that cna be used to force the response writer to include input params in the response: "echoParams" ... you can also use "debugQuery" to get debugging oriented information in the response (that includes info on the query executed. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreQueryParameters http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters -Hoss
