Hi there,
I'm building a new section for our website and am having great fun doing
it in Django! The aim is to let people upload documents, tag them, rate
them, etc. Obviously one important aspect of this is searching, and I'm
wondering how best to do that.
I've googled around to see if there was an app that people tended to
use, and found two:
* django-search: <http://code.google.com/p/django-search/>. This
project is listed on Django Pluggables, and looks like the kind of
thing I need. However, it's not been updated since May - not
necessarily a problem, but there is also...
* djangosearch: <http://code.google.com/p/djangosearch/>. Despite
the similar name, this is a different project. It's not on Django
Pluggables but it looks more live - jacob.kaplanmoss is a project
owner (which in my Django newbie state I've taken to regarding as
an indicator of liveness), and the last checkin was a week or so
ago. However, there is no documentation (at least on the trunk -
there's a doc directory on a branch) and there's no obvious MySQL
backend. Despite this, I get the feeling that this is the one to
go for.
My question for everyone is - am I right in thinking that I should be
using djangosearch (hope I'm not starting a war with that :-)? If so,
should I be using the trunk, or perhaps the soc-new-backends branch? Or
is there yet another search app out there? Or should I just roll my own
(which I guess won't be too difficult)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Giles
