How to format solr result documents?

Question

Hi,

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.

Hey, 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:

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">
