Hi guys,
I'm setting up a site with many events that occur at many places. I
want to create a scalable search and am considering using something
like Xapian to implement it, however, I've not used it or its
equivalents before.
Does anyone have clear instructions on how to install and use Xapian
with Django? I've scoured the net and the user groups but have not
found any clear examples. I've noticed that there was mention of it
being incomplete and that it does not presently work across many-to-
many relationships. Is this true?
For example, I would like to be able to do the following:
Search by placeTypeName e.g. entering "Bar" and returning a list of
relevant Places,
Search by placeTypeName AND addressSuburb e.g. "Bar AND Somesuburb"
or something like "Type:Bar Suburb:Somesuburb" and returning a list
of relevant Places.
My models.py has something like (I've stripped the it only to include
the relevant bits):
class PlaceType(models.Model):
placeTypeName = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
class Place(models.Model):
placeName = models.CharField(maxlength=200, core=True)
placeType = models.ManyToManyField(PlaceType,
filter_interface=models.HORIZONTAL, core=True)
addressSuburb = models.CharField(maxlength=200, core=True)
class Event(models.Model):
eventName = models.CharField(maxlength=200, core=True)
placeName = models.ForeignKey(Place, core=True)
Any ideas how to implement this?
Cheers
Mark
