Integrating with an existing database

[dapor]

I'm integration with an existing postgresql database. Search does not
return anything for existing data. When I insert an new one, search
returns it though. How do I make i work with existing data?

[Dave Hall]

This one's easy! Just run the following django-admin command:

./manage.py buildwatson

This will generate the search index for all existing models.

Best,

Dave.

Even where i run the command, it does not return results when I do a search.

But it does return results for new objects you've added?

Where are you registering models with django-watson in your code?

[dapo lawore]

It was working for new entries before I added the store attribute to the register method. I added the attributes so I could use it for the display if results returned. Now nothing seems to be working. Not even for new entries.

Are you on skype? I'm hoping we can have a quick chat, if possible.

Hi Dave,

Can u spare me a few minutes on skype? I want to be clear on how to access foreign key fields when registering models so that i can search them also. 

For example,  a Resource model has a foreign key called Country model which has a field called name. I want to be able search for, say resources in a country like Ghana and get matches.
