Description

The query form in the admin UI could use an improvement regarding how the request handler is chosen; presently all there is is a text input for 'qt'. The first choice to make in the form above the query should really be the request handler since it actually handles the request before any other parameters do anything. It'd be great if it was a dynamically driven menu defaulting to "/select". Similar to how the DIH page finds DIH request handlers, this page could find the request handlers with a class of "SearchHandler". Their names would be added to a list, and if the name didn't start with a '/' then it would be prefixed with '/select?qt='.

I did something similar (without the menu) to the old 3x UI in a patch to SOLR-3161 which will hopefully get committed.
