简介
Haystack是一个django框架下的第三方库，专门用于提供搜索功能，它支持 Solr、Elasticsearch、Whoosh、Xapian 等多种搜索后端，而无需修改代码。
官方介绍：
Getting Started with Haystack Search is a topic of ever increasing importance. Users increasing rely on search to separate signal from noise and find what they’re
looking for quickly. In addition, search can provide insight into what things are popular (many searches),
what things are difficult to find on the site and ways you can improve the site. To this end, Haystack tries to make integrating custom search as easy as possible while being flexible/powerful enough to handle more
advanced use cases. //Haystack试图尽可能简化集成自定义搜索，同时更灵活/强大，足以处理更高级的用例。 Haystack is a reusable app (that is, it relies only on its own code and focuses on providing just search) that plays nicely with both
apps you control as well as third-party apps (such as django.contrib.*) without having to modify the sources. Haystack also does pluggable backends (much like Django’s database layer), so virtually all of the code you write ought to be portable
between whichever search engine you choose.
应用
在第三方库中安装Haystack
pip install django-haystack
然后在settings中添加Haystack应用，通常是项目根目录下的settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.sites', # Added. 'haystack', # Then your usual apps... 'blog', ]
继续修改settings.py，添加要使用的后端和后端的其他配置。
比如说我们选用Whoosh
Requires setting PATH to the place on your filesystem where the Whoosh index should be located. Standard warnings about permissions
and keeping it out of a place your webserver may serve documents out of apply.# 本地系统文件路径。以及将其保存在web服务器外，无法提供服务的警告权限的设置。 Example: import os HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'haystack.backends.whoosh_backend.WhooshEngine', 'PATH': os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'whoosh_index'), }, }
接下来就是处理数据了。
处理数据
创建 SearchIndexes
SearchIndex objects are the way Haystack determines what data should be placed in the search index and handles the flow of data in.
You can think of them as being similar to Django Models or Forms in that they are field-based and manipulate/store data. You generally create a unique SearchIndex for each type of Model you wish to index, though you can reuse the same SearchIndex between
different models if you take care in doing so and your field names are very standardized.
官方文档的说法，SearchIndexes对象是确定哪些数据应该放入搜索索引中，和处理数据流的位置（也许称为容器比较好）。我们可以认为他们类似于DJango中的Models或者Forms，用于操作/存储数据的基础字段。
我们通常可以为每种Models索引创建一个唯一SearchIndex，不过我们需要小心处理SearchIndex，给其命名非常标准的字段，才可以在不同模型中重复使用。
要构建一个SearchIndex，所必需的步骤是将indexes.SearchIndex＆ indexes.Indexable子类化，定义你想要存储数据的字段并定义一个get_model方法。
官方案例如下
import datetime from haystack import indexes from myapp.models import Note class NoteIndex(indexes.SearchIndex, indexes.Indexable): text = indexes.CharField(document=True, use_template=True) author = indexes.CharField(model_attr='user') pub_date = indexes.DateTimeField(model_attr='pub_date') def get_model(self): return Note def index_queryset(self, using=None): """Used when the entire index for model is updated.""" return self.get_model().objects.filter(pub_date__lte=datetime.datetime.now())
这里代码定义方法很像是django中的类视图函数。
When you choose a document=True field, it should be consistently named across all of your SearchIndex classes to avoid
confusing the backend. The convention is to name this field text. There is nothing special about the text field name used in all of the examples. It could be anything; you could call it
pink_polka_dot and it won’t matter. It’s simply a convention to call it text.
在这段代码后面，官方特意提醒：当我们选择document=True字段时，为了避免后端处理混淆，要在我们的SearchIndex类中保持其命名一致性。约定俗成的默认命名为text。
Additionally, we’re providing use_template=True on the text field. This allows us to use a data template
(rather than error-prone concatenation) to build the document the search engine will index. You’ll need to create a new template
inside your template directory called search/indexes/myapp/note_text.txt and place the following inside: {{ object.title }} {{ object.user.get_full_name }} {{ object.body }}
接下来是官方额外备注：他们提供了用于text字段的参数use_template。该参数允许我们用数据模板（而非容易出错的拼接）创建搜索引擎的文档索引。我们需要在我们的模板目录中创建一个新的模板search/indexes/myapp/note_text.txt。就像上面文档中的示例。
关于index_queryset:
一个常见的主题是允许管理员添加，不会在网站上显示的未来的内容，直到到达指定时间。我们指定一个自定义的 index_queryset方法来防止这些潜在的项目被索引到。
视图设置
Add The SearchView To Your URLconf
我们要在项目的URLconf中，添加
url(r'^search/', include('haystack.urls')),
这设置了一个Haystack默认URLconf，它由一个指向SearchView实例的单独URLconf组成。
当然，我们可以通过改变传递的关键字参数来改变这个类的行为，也可以重新覆写为自定义视图函数。
search template
当然，你的视图模板(search/search.html for the default case) 也许看起来非常简单，通常像这样就足够了：
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}
<h2>Search</h2>
<form method="get" action=".">
<table>
{{ form.as_table }}
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
{% if query %}
<h3>Results</h3>
{% for result in page.object_list %}
<p>
<a href="{{ result.object.get_absolute_url }}">{{ result.object.title }}</a>
</p>
{% empty %}
<p>No results found.</p>
{% endfor %}
{% if page.has_previous or page.has_next %}
<div>
{% if page.has_previous %}<a href="?q={{ query }}&page={{ page.previous_page_number }}">{% endif %}« Previous{% if page.has_previous %}</a>{% endif %}
|
{% if page.has_next %}<a href="?q={{ query }}&page={{ page.next_page_number }}">{% endif %}Next »{% if page.has_next %}</a>{% endif %}
</div>
{% endif %}
{% else %}
{# Show some example queries to run, maybe query syntax, something else? #}
{% endif %}
</form>
{% endblock %}
Note that the page.object_list is actually a list of SearchResult objects instead of individual models. These objects have all
the data returned from that record within the search index as well as score. They can also directly access the model for the result
via {{ result.object }}. So the {{ result.object.title }} uses the actual Note object in the database and accesses its title field.
请注意，这里的page.object_list实际上是一个SearchResult 对象列表，而不是单个模型。这些对象可以返回从搜索索引内的记录及所有数据、得分。他们可以通过{{ result.objcet }}直接访问模型结果集。因此可以使用数据库的实际对象并访问其字段{{ result.object.title }}。
