Using VelocityResponseWriter in solr

Question

I want to use VelocityResponseWriter in solr.

I've indexed a website( for example xxxx://www.biginfolabs.com/). If i type a query xxxx://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?q=santhos&wt=xml&indent=true I will get all the fields related to that document (content,host,title,url etc) but if i put the query in velocity xxxx://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/browse?q=santhosh i will see only 3 fields(id,url,content) instead of all other fields.

How can i display all the fields??

This is in solrconfig.xml

<requestHandler name="/browse" class="solr.SearchHandler">
 <lst name="defaults">
   <str name="echoParams">explicit</str>

   <!-- VelocityResponseWriter settings -->
   <str name="wt">velocity</str>

The reason you don't see all the fields in your search results is because the response is post-processed by the VelocityResponseWriter. Take a look at the VM template files in located in your solr_server_home/solr/collection_name/conf/velocity.

In the version of Solr that I'm working with (4.9.0), the VM template richtext_doc.vm controls the output of each result, and it outputs only the id,url,content fields.

Lets say you have a field called "Country", you could add the following content to the richtext_doc.vm to display the Country field.

## Country 
#if($doc.getFieldValue('Country'))
  <div>
    Country:
    #field('Country')
  </div>
#end
