Django Haystack - Unindexed Search for Many Fields

Question

Is there a way to have only the filtered part of the model as a SeachQuerySet?

Sort of:

query = SearchQuerySet (). models (Entry.filter (categories__name = 'something'))

instead

query = SearchQuerySet (). models (Entry)

The field I want to filter is a multi-tone field and is not indexed.

Answer 1

The search index does not store any relationships, so it is "flat." You can only add category identifiers to the index for Entry (note that you must use the prepare_ method for prepare_ ):

 class EntryIndex(indexes.SearchIndex, indexes.Indexable): # your other fields categories = MultiValueField() def prepare_categories(self, obj): return [category.pk for category in obj.categories.all()] 

You can do something like:

 category = Category.objects.get(name='something') sqs = SearchQuerySet().models(Entry).filter(categories=category.pk)
