Paste Raw Solr Parameters into the Query Form

Paste raw parameters

When you already have a query, from your Solr log, your code or a URL, you do not need to type it field by field. Paste it, and the form fills itself.

01 · Steps

1. In the Query tab of Solr Admin, click Raw parameters, next to Examples.
2. A box opens above the form, holding the parameters that are in the form now. Replace them with yours.
3. Click Load into the form. The parameters are checked, then the form is filled with them.
4. Click Execute Query.

Close hides the box; Raw parameters opens it again.

02 · What you can paste

A query string, exactly as your Solr log shows it, on one line, with spaces, quotes and backslashes as they are:

?q=*:*&defType=edismax&fl=* score&fq=type:"page"&fq=locale_s:en&sort=score desc, date desc&rows=10

A whole line from the Solr log: only what is inside params={...} is used.

... webapp=/solr path=/select params={q=title:solr&fq=locale_s:en&rows=10} hits=42 status=0 QTime=3

A URL or an encoded query string: the address before ? is ignored and %3A, + and the rest are decoded.

https://HOST/solr/INDEX/select?q=title%3Asolr&rows=10

One name=value per line, as Parameters sent to Solr shows them. A line that does not start with name= continues the value above it, so a value can span several lines, such as a json.facet.

q=title:solr
fq=locale_s:en
fq=type:page
rows=10

An & inside a value stays in the value: q=AT&T is read as one parameter.

03 · The check

• Every name must start with a letter and use only letters, digits, _ and ..
• Parameters that take several values, such as fq or facet.field, may repeat; each one becomes a line of the field. Any other parameter given twice is a mistake.
• wt=json and expandMacros=false are skipped, because the form always sends them; any other value for them is a mistake.
• On a mistake, the message says what is wrong and the form stays as it was.
• When the check passes, the form is emptied and filled with what you pasted: defType and the other known parameters get their own fields, any other name becomes a custom parameter.

The parameters the form does not accept are refused when you run the query: Query limits.
