Solr Admin Query Form: Search Your Index

The query form

The Query tab searches your index with any Solr parameters you choose and shows the full answer of Solr. Fill in the fields, click Execute Query, and the answer appears below.

The help button sits next to its field; added rows also get a remove button.

01 · The fields

The form starts with the parameters most searches use: q, fq, sort, start, rows, fl, df, defType and qf.
Fields that take several values, such as fq, take one value per line.
Empty fields are not sent.

02 · More parameters

Add parameter lists the other parameters by group: edismax and dismax, highlighting, faceting, grouping, spellcheck, more like this, rerank, vector and hybrid search, response and debug.
Custom parameter, at the end of the list, adds any other name and value.
The × button next to an added field removes it.

03 · Help next to every field

The i button next to each field explains it and gives examples that fill the field with one click. Examples and help.

04 · Parameters sent to Solr

Under the form, Parameters sent to Solr shows the exact request as you type. Three parameters are always added: timeAllowed=15000 unless you set your own, wt=json and expandMacros=false. Without q, the form searches everything with q=*:*.

05 · Already have the parameters?

Click Raw parameters and paste them: a query string from your Solr log or a URL fills the whole form. Paste raw parameters.

06 · The answer

The answer of Solr is shown as JSON, as Solr sent it: the results, facets, highlighting, debug and anything else you asked for. Limits on sizes and the parameters that are not accepted: Query limits.
