django-haystack

I have a Django project that uses SOLR for indexing. I'm trying to do a substring search using Haystack's SearchQuerySet class. For example, when a user searches for the term "ear" , it should return the entry that has a field with the value: "Search" . As you can see, "ear" is a SUBSTRING of "Search" . (obviously :)) In other words, in a perfect Django world I would like something like: SearchQuerySet().all().filter(some_field__contains_substring='ear') In the haystack documentation for SearchQuerySet ( https://django-haystack.readthedocs.org/en/latest/searchqueryset_api.html#field-lookups ),

I downloaded a package (called pysolr 2.0.15) to my computer to be used with Haystack. The instructions asks me to add pysolr to my PYTHONPATH. What exactly does that mean? After extracting the pysolr files, I ran the command python setup.py install and that's about it. What did that do and do I need to do anything else? Thanks for the help! The pythonpath tells python were to look for modules, for example you might have written a library that you want to use in several applications and stored it in the path /mylibs/python/ you would then have to add that path to the pythonpath for python to

Is it possible to combine a Django Haystack search with "built-in" QuerySet filter operations, specifically filtering with Q() instances and lookup types not supported by SearchQuerySet? In either order: haystack-searched -> queryset-filtered or queryset-filtered -> haystack-searched Browsing the Django Haystack documentation didn't give any directions how to do this. You could filter your queryset based on the results of a Haystack search, using the objects' PKs: def view(request): if request.GET.get('q'): from haystack import ModelSearchForm form = ModelSearchForm(request.GET, searchqueryset

I'm using apache solr search engine for indexing my website database.. I'm using django+ http://haystacksearch.org/ So let's say I have document that have word "Chicken" When I search for "chicken" - solr can find this document But When I search "chick" - it does not find anything.. Is there a way to fix this ? Brian Note: The following solution is Solr 1.4 (and above) specific! For more flexibility, I would recommend indexing your data with the NGramTokenizerFactory to do complete front and back wildcard searches. If you just want to search for substrings at the beginning or end of the string
