Note: This question originally applied to Xapian, but due to cross-platform issues and poor understanding of Xapian I (our team) chose Solr instead. I'm looking for snippets, tricks, tips, links, and anything to watch out for (gotchas). My technology stack includes: MySQL 5.1 (Not really pertinent) Red Hat and Windows configurations w...
This questions is about Django Haystack, with Whoosh backend. I would like to use spelling suggestion in my search. The problem is that it is suggesting TOO much. Say I have two models: Apples and Oranges. If I have somethine like this: result = SearchQuerySet().models(Apples).filter( content=escaped_value).spelling_suggestion(esc...
I'm trying to setup haystack with whoosh backend. When i try to gen the index [or any index command for that matter] i receive: TypeError: Item in ``from list'' not a string if i completely remove my search_indexes.py i get the same error [so i'm guessing it can't find that file at all] what might cause this error? it's set to autodi...

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'...
I have a simple config of haystack/solr on my django app: from the models.py of this app: class device(models.Model): ... hostname = models.CharField(max_length=45, help_text="The hostname for this device") ... from the search_sites.py of this app: class devIndex(indexes.SearchIndex): '''Haystack class to allow for i...
I'm implementing a search system onto my django project, using django haystack. The problem is that some fields in my models have some french accents, and I would like to find the entries which contents the query with and without accents. I think the best Idea is to create a SearchIndex with both the fields with the accents, and the sam...
I'm trying to integrate Haystack with Solr. When I try to build the index, I get an error "Unknown field django_id" from SOLR. What's causing this to happen? ...
I need Haystack to send Solr range queries of the type q=age:[10 TO 15]. It messes up the querystring by tokenizing and adding the default operator AND. In this example, Solr receives the query as age:[10 and TO and 15] and it doesn't work. ...

Hey, I'm trying django-haystack with Solr and HAYSTACK_INCLUDE_SPELLING = True. How do you access the spelling suggestions on the template (generated by the default SearchView) ? Edit: another question: Can the Spelling Suggestion find words from the database ? For example, using the default Note model from the haystack doc, and the d...
I am building out a solr instance for django, but the example provided from solr is super verbose, with many things that are not relevant to haystack. A sample with spelling suggestions, morelikethis, and faceting, without the extra stuff that haystack doesn't use would go a long way to helping me understand what is needed and what isn't...

When rebuilding my indices via ./manage.py rebuild_index I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 11, in <module> execute_manager(settings) File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 438, in execute_manager utility.execute() File "/Library/Python/2.6...
Many languages in Europe are inflectional. This means that one word can be written in multiple forms in text. For example, word 'computer' in polish "komputer" has multiple forms: "komputera", "komputerowi", "komputerem", "komputery" , etc.. How should I use django+haystack+whoosh properly to deal with language inflection? Whenever I...
I'm running Haystack + Whoosh under a Debian vserver setup with only 128MB for the /tmp directory and am running out of space in it during indexing (the individual Whoosh tmp files are 25MB+). I'd love to increase the tmp folder size, but that's out of my control. Is there a way to instruct Haystack or Whoosh to use an alternate tmp dir...
I've read the getting started documentation and several other examples on the web. And this is what my search_indexes.py looks like: from haystack.indexes import * from haystack import site from models import Entry class EntryIndex(SearchIndex): text = CharField(document=True) headline = CharField(model_attr='headline') sub...
