Adding in highlighting and "more" in the text field

[jbs123]

1. wonderful idea and job! Thank you. As a developer this makes my life so much easier.
2. Is it possible to add in some js to catch the tag and highlight? Maybe even make it customizable?
3. more/less based up how big the text field so. Collapse by default.
4. Tag cloud maybe?
5. Date picker?
6. Awesome idea...let me know if you need developer help.

Hi Jbs123

Its great that Solrstrap has helped you out!

Solrstrap is simple on purpose. Its really a starting point and you can add as much functionality to it as you want. However search term highlighting (where it is available on the Solr box) and date navigation are definitely things that could sensibly be added in the next release.

As for developer help- just roll your sleeves up and get stuck in :)

Just a FYI I'm working on the highlighter and will commit it to my fork on monday

Great! Is it going to use HighlightingParameters? http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HighlightingParameters

At the moment those are configured in solrconfig.xml, but good to mention that. I will implement that next monday

I've added simple highlighting to my fork at https://github.com/rwiker/solrstrap; I've also made some changes to make use of facets more robust.
