Django MySQL full text search

Question

I need to implement full text search for my Django application, running MySQL as backend.

Let\'s say I\'ve got a model as follows:

class MyItem(model         


        

Answer 1

You can use full text search in django

MyItem.objects.filter(title__search="some search text")

One thing is - you can't define a fulltext index from a Django model, you need to do in directly in a database (using PHPMyAdmin or SQL query)

See Django documentation for field lookup called search
