<pctony> Sebb, this service is running solr/lucene so you can use whatever docs they provide.  The page was put up in a bit of a hurry so it didnt get a huge amount of styling tlc.  If you feel you can do better, please feel free to patch it and I'll happily apply it.

I've added the documentation to dev/asfmailsearch.html.

However, the search page itself on mail-search.apache.org needs to be updated in order to enable advanced mode.

Or did you mean to implement the search form under dev/ as well?
In which case, presumably all references to the existing form should be changed once the new form is up and running?

<danielsh> Maybe you can add that content to www.a.o/dev/ somewhere, and we'll link to that place from the live page?  That way it's easier for everyone to edit the page going forward.

Sebb commented on INFRA-4771:
-----------------------------

I've done some digging in the Lucene/Solr documentation, and the schema appears to be available from [1]

This contains the following field definitions (amongst others)

   <field name="to" type="text" indexed="true" compressed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true"/>
   <field name="from" type="text" indexed="true" compressed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true"/>
   <field name="subject" type="text" compressed="true" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="false"/>
   <field name="listname" type="string" indexed="true" compressed="true" stored="true" multiValued="false"/>
   <field name="project" type="string" indexed="true" compressed="true" stored="true" multiValued="false"/>

All of these would be useful as query parameters. 
However, at present AFAICT one cannot used them, because the qt=dismax parameter messes with the parsing.

For example, "q=project:members" should in theory return all messages posted to the members list, but it does not.

I think the search page needs to be updated to allow an optional advanced search which does not use the qt conversion.
Either that, or the qt configuration needs to be updated somehow (but I've no idea whether the dismax parser can be configured to allow specification of list name, subject etc.).

I can provide a patch to add advanced search to the page.
However, I've no idea where the source for the page is kept.

Where is the page source held?

Also, AFAICT from the Solr docs, the search options may depend on the schema - where is that defined?

-----------------------------

I've created a copy of the page, and changed the source to additionally support Advanced mode.
The rowCount is now a variable (upped to 20), and I added some explanations of how to use advanced mode.

I put a copy in my web area at [1].

There are still some changes that need to be made - for example, fixing the list of projects - but there seems little point doing that without knowing how the page is generated. I had a look for the page source in SVN, but could not find it.
