Re: How to perform a simple search ignoring characters with accents (á, é, í, ó, ú)

django-haystack seemed overkill for me. django-unaccent looks pretty good, since I'm using PostgreSQL. I'll take a look into that, thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group. To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups
