As per documentation, it should be paste in your Solr URL and go. Generally we try to follow the maxim of "Bad UI is like a bad joke if I have to explain it... its not good". So if something is not obvious (like having to prefix id: to an id field that's not "id") that's a bug too me, not just a UI shortcoming. We'll fix it.
Regardless, no tool is perfect, so we will come up with some documentation to walk people through the tool and capture edge cases that don't just work by pasting in your Solr URL. Did you encounter a specific problem? We shared this tool in part because our view of the world's Solr population is miniscule and biased around how we configure things. There's so much diversity in how people use Solr. So I humbly beseech the mailing list to tell me where Splainer doesn't work well with your Solr :) Cheers -Doug On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 9:23 AM, Jacques du Rand <jacq...@pricecheck.co.za> wrote: > ANY documentation as to how to setup this thing ? > > ________________________________________ > From: Doug Turnbull [dturnb...@opensourceconnections.com] > Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 1:46 PM > To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org > Subject: Re: Announcing "Splainer" -- Open Source Solr Sandbox > > Thanks! > > About the id field, in "displayed fields" you can specify an alternate > Id field by prefixing a field name with "id:".
