[Visualizations] from Query Results

[Adam Estrada <es...@gmail.com>]

Dear Solr experts,

I am curious to learn what visualization tools are out there to help me
"visualize" my query results. I am not talking about a language specific
client per se but something more like Carrot2 which breaks clusters in to
their knowledge tree and expandable pie chart. Sorry if those aren't the
correct names for those tools ;-) Anyway, what else is out there like
Carrot2 http://project.carrot2.org/ to help me visualize Solr query results?

Thanks for your input,
Adam

Otis and Erick,

Believe it or not, I did Google this and didn't come up with anything all
that useful. I was at the Lucene Revolution conference last year and saw
some prezos that had some sort of graphical representation of the query
results. The one from Basic Tech especially caught my attention because it
simply showed a graph of hits over time. I can do that using jQuery or
Raphael as he suggested. I have also been playing with the Carrot2
visualization tools which are pretty cool too which is why I pointed them
out in my original email. I was just curious to see if there were any
"speciality" type projects out there like Carrot2 that folks in the Solr
community are using.

Hi Adam,

Try this:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=search%20results%20visualizations

In practice I find that visualizations are cool and attractive looking, but 
often text is more useful because it's more direct.  But there is room for 
graphical representation of search results, sure.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "visualization" here. Do you
want to see the query parse tree? The results list in something other
than XML (see the /browse functionality if so). How documents are
ranked?

"Visualization" is another overloaded word <G>...

Best
Erick
