The sandbox that explains your search results for you so you don't have to go digging through explain debug! Paste in your Solr URL and go. Try it out here.
You're a search developer trying to tune search results with Solr. You're engaged in search relevancy work.
You're probably stuck with the question of why? Why do search results come back in the order that they do? Solr/Lucene exposes an explain syntax for you to try to explain search scoring. Unfortunately outside the simplest tasks, its a nightmare to read through. There are parsers like explain.solr.pl but they require a lot of manual copy/pasting of explain information to the tool.
Splainer is different by being a sandbox. Paste in your Solr URL, query parameters and all. As you work with your query, changing parameters, Splainer shows you parsed and summarized explain information alongside your documents. Continue working and see how the search results change.
