Solr Search Velocity Templates
A quick demo of using Solr using http://wiki.apache.org/solr/VelocityResponseWriter
You typically access these templates via: http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/browse
It's called “browse” because you can click around with your mouse without needing to type any search terms. And of course it also works as a standard search app as well.
Java-based template language.
It's nice in this context because change to the templates are immediately visible in browser on the next visit.
