Encapsulating search result per application

[Ilya]

Hello 

I have implemented the search on 2 models in one of my apps Customers (Company and Contacts)

so when users search on search page from result of this app only the see results from those 2 models.

Now in the same project  I created another app named vendors and this app has the logic as the Customers however the models have different name V_Company and V_Contact

so since in my apps I have registered the new tables I have defined for this app only :

apps.py

from django.apps import AppConfig
from watson import search as watson


class YourAppConfig(AppConfig):
    name = "vendor"
    def ready(self):
        V_Contacts = self.get_model("V_Contacts")
        watson.register(V_Contacts)
        V_Company = self.get_model("V_Company")
        watson.register(V_Company)

and my _init_.py

default_app_config = 'vendor.apps.YourAppConfig'

My search template  form haven't changed 

    <h1>Vendor Search</h1>
    <br>
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-4">
            <form action="search">
                <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span> <input name="q" value="{{request.GET.q}}">


                <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-primary" value="Search">
            </form>
        </div>
    </div>

And the views are copy paste fro your code 

I was expecting that search output will be only for the models I have registered in this app but it looks like it provides all the search results also from the models registered in different app and not searching at all in models registered in this app.

Is it expected behavior or I am not configuring something correctly?

You can segregate search results by creating separate "search engines".

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to tell watson to use different search engines in different views. You can get around this by subclassing the SearchView:

Apologies that this isn't better documented. I've been meaning to improve the watson docs for a while.

Thank you ,

Sorry I am real novice 

so to summarize I should create  watson.py inside the watson folder where I will register models as you showed in example .

as well should i remove registration from apps.py 

from django.apps import AppConfig

from watson import search as watson

class YourAppConfig(AppConfig):

    name = "customer"

    def ready(self):

        Contacts = self.get_model("Contacts")

        watson.register(Contacts)

        Company = self.get_model("Company")

        watson.register(Company)

Is it the case?

It is not working for me , so I am wondering if I understood your correctly.

Did I got it correctly or not?
