Sunspot should provide access to debugQuery output to help analyze relevancy

[nz]

It would be nice if we could access the debugQuery output without having to check the logs for search parameters and run searches against Solr manually.

I did this and it worked for me:

search = self.solr_search do fulltext term adjust_solr_params { |params| params['debugQuery'] ='on' } end

then, to get access to this information, I did

results[:debug] = search.instance_variable_get(:@solr_result)['debug']

it's ugly, i know, but i have an "unless" there so that this code only runs in dev and only if explicitly requested.

How do you get the score out of that big hash ? search.instance_variable_get(:@solr_result)['debug']['explain']['User 51'] gave me a huge string which is hard to read. is there any way to know why this particular result came first and what is the relevancy score?
