How to implement full-text search in Django?

[Etienne Robillard]

Hi all,

I would like some input on implementing a full-text search engine for my
website and blog.

I really don't want to use Google search API or a external webservice to
index my documents.

Also, my blog is powered by ZODB while my main website uses Durus.

Ideally, i would like to use Redis server to index my documents and
Ajax/jQuery to make a search using JSON.

I have considered Elasticsearch, but it requires Java, and I don't
really like this.

Is there any other alternatives for indexing non-relational database
objects such as ZODB ?

What do you think?

Check out this library https://github.com/django-haystack/django-haystack

It supports a wide range of backends.

Thanks Egor. Django-haystack looks quite flexible and well-designed.

My current plan is to use redisearch plugin for Redis:
http://redisearch.io/

I'm thinking that I could write a script to import into redis a list of
URLs by fetching a RSS file as input and then use redisearch to perform
a full-text search query and return a JSON stream.

My goal is to not duplicate data between redis and zodb...

What do you think?
