I want to format the solr result page instead of just a xml- show a user only ten results at a time (one page) and provide links for the next or previous page of results.
And add some css . where and how do i do it?
Please guide me. Thanks in advance.
you can use the XsltReponseWriter. Which is documented here:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/XsltResponseWriter
Here's an example which turns solr's resonse into an atom feed:
https://github.com/mauricio/acts_as_solr/blob/master/jetty/solr/conf/xslt/example_atom.xsl
You could use the header information that solr provides to help with paging.
<str name="rows">10</str>
<result name="response" numFound="8104" start="0">
Just for the record (this post is very old). I post here a complete XSLT file that formats Solr results, in a fashion like Google (with page numers, etc).
Your Solr seach, should have the following parameters: hl=on hl.fl=content start=0 rows=10
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
<xsl:output media-type="text/html" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<!-- Variables para el paginador -->
<xsl:variable name="pageNumber" select="(response/result/@start div 10) + 1"/>
<xsl:variable name="numberOfRecords" select="response/result/@numFound"/>
<xsl:variable name="recordsPerPage" select="/response/lst[@name='responseHeader']/lst[@name='params']/str[@name='rows']" />
<xsl:variable name="endPage" select="ceiling(response/result/@numFound div 10)" />
<xsl:variable name="cantPages" select="5" />
<xsl:variable name="queryPura" select="/response/lst[@name='responseHeader']/lst[@name='params']/str[@name='q']" />
<xsl:variable name="query" select="substring-after($queryPura, 'OR ')" />
<xsl:key name="preg" match="lst[@name='highlighting']/lst" use="@name"/>
<xsl:template match="/">

Ankit u can add to that xsl file into conf/xslt folder its useful to u.
