Try debug.explain.structured=true, which will give you an XML response that
can be traversed.
Don't worry about the fact that these features are labeled "debug" - they
are there simply to explain what is happening. Is there some particular
concern you have about them being labeled "debug"? Although, you are not the
first person to complain! What if Solr simply renamed these features with
the term "detail" instead of "debug" - would that cure your concern?!

Subject: Getting "explain" information of more like this search in a more
usable format
Hi,
I'm executing a more like this search using the MoreLikeThisHandler. I can
add "score" to the fields to be returned, but that's all I could find about
getting information about how/why documents match. I would like to give my
users more hints why documents are similar, so I would like to display
important overlapping terms. If I specify debugQuery=true the result
contains a "explain" section which is quite detailed, but in a text format I
would have to parse. Is there a way to get this kind of information in a
more usable way which does not force me to use a debug-flag? I'm mainly
interested in showing the terms which each result document has in common
with the reference document.
regards,
Achim=
