[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-5642) Query User Interface is Unnecessarily Cryptic

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5642?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13917150#comment-13917150 ] 

Stefan Matheis (steffkes) commented on SOLR-5642:
-------------------------------------------------

David did some work on SOLR-3317, we added a {{title}} attribute on the inputs itself, which show a tooltip if you hover over them. having them (also or instead?) on the labels might be (more) sense, agreed .. and having information for all of them, as well. 

[~thinkcomp] would you mind adding a list for all parameters you did already lookup (and find)?

> Solr depends on a lot of parameters to perform queries. These parameters have one- or two-character names like "q" and "fq" and "fl" and "df". It would be extremely easy and extremely helpful to users to use tooltips in the web UI that could explain what these parameters actually mean, and it would be further helpful to link directly to the documentation for each. Right now I have no idea what they mean and since there's several versions of the documentation I'm not even sure how to find the best place to look.
> Also, the word "Dataimport" on the left should be two words: "Data Import" both because "dataimport" is not a word in any language and because the "Schema Browser" appears as two proper words.
