Philippe -
/browse is a Solr request handler defined in solrconfig.xml. It’s
configuration is shipped using edismax and q.alt=*:*, meaning that if there is
no client provided query string it defaults to all documents. You could
either adjust the configuration such that an empty /browse request returns no
results (easier to tinker if you do /browse?wt=xml) or perhaps adjust the
template (maybe in results_list.vm) to check for the q parameter existence,
except you may want to show results without a query if the user facets so
you’ll have to keep that in mind as well.
