What's the best Django search app? [closed]
Check out Haystack Search - a new model based search abstraction layer that currently supports Xapian, Solr and Whoosh. Looks like it's well supported and documented.
Justin, I'd try djangosearch first: Jacob Kaplan-Moss (Django's lead developer) is working on it.
Potential hazards:
- The home page warns the API might not be entirely stable
Potential benefits:
- “The long term goal is for this to become
django.contrib.search.”
I am searching for the same thing, as are a lot of other people. Let's hope that django.contrib.search will be added soon.
In the meantime, this is what I found:
- http://code.google.com/p/djangosearch/
- http://code.google.com/p/django-sphinx/
- http://code.google.com/p/djapian/
- http://code.google.com/p/django-search-lucene/
- http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/tsearch/V2/
To me, most look quite complicated and, frankly, a little daunting to implement.I'd be interested to learn what you think of these.
