I've followed a tutorial to a create search query with Haystack and Whoosh in Django 1.6. The search template works but when filling in and submitting a query the automatic detection of url renders a 404 that generated url; myapp.entry, can't be found. I've tried with changing the url in the ajax.js from /article/search/ to /search/ but it doesn't help. Any ideas?
in settings.py
HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'haystack.backends.whoosh_backend.WhooshEngine',
'PATH': os.path.join( os.path.dirname(__file__), 'whoosh' ),
},
}
in views.py
from haystack.query import SearchQuerySet
def search_titles(request):
#'' - defaultvalue if searchvalue (search_text) is None
articles =SearchQuerySet().autocomplete(content_auto=request.
POST.get('search_text',''))
return render(request,'ajax_search.html',{"articles":articles})
in urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^search/',include('haystack.urls')),
)
in models.py
class Entry(models.Model):
datetime = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True)
title = models.CharField(max_length = 70)
content = models.TextField()
author = models.ForeignKey(User)
entry_count = models.PositiveIntegerField()
n_pingbacks = models.PositiveIntegerField()
belongsTo = models.ForeignKey(Topic)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
in search_indexes.py
from haystack import indexes
from myapp.models import Entry
import datetime
class EntryIndex(indexes.SearchIndex, indexes.Indexable):
text = indexes.CharField(document=True,use_template=True)
datetime = indexes.DateTimeField(model_attr='datetime')
content_audio = indexes.EdgeNgramField(model_attr='title')
# get the relevant model
def get_model(self):
return Entry
# returning results from guideline
def index_queryset(self, using=None):
"""used when the entire index for model is updated """
return self.get_model().objects.all()
in ajax.js
$(function(){
$('#search').keyup(function() {
$.ajax({

'search_text' : $('#search').val(),
