django-watson

django-watson is a fast multi-model full-text search plugin for Django.

It is easy to install and use, and provides high quality search results.

Features

• Search across multiple models.
• Order results by by relevance.
• No need to install additional third-party modules or services.
• Fast and scaleable enough for most use cases.
• UPDATED: Can consider search config on row-level if there is column with language information (for PostgreSQL only)

Documentation

Please read the docs for main project first:

After installation register model with

watson.register(Model, search_config='search_language')

where search_config point to model's field with language name ('english', 'russian', etc., like in pg_catalog.*) Now you should be able to do search your model with or without search_config specified in your view, just like:

        if request.LANGUAGE_CODE == 'ru':
            results = watson.search(query, models=(my_model,), search_config='russian')
        else:
            results = watson.search(query, models=(my_model,))

filter() is search_config aware too.
