Overview -------- xapian-haystack is a backend for use with the Django Haystack search API. More information on Haystack can be found here: http://haystacksearch.org/ xapian-haystack is licensed under the GPL, please see the included LICENSE file for more information. Requirements ------------ - Python 2.4 (May work with 2.3, but untested) - Django 1.0.x - Django-Haystack 1.0BETA - Xapian 1.0.13.X (May work with earlier versions, but untested) - mod_wsgi 1.3.X Notes ----- - Due to an issue with mod_python causing deadlocks with Xapian (http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/185), mod_python is not supported with xapian-haystack. It may work, with some tweaking, but your mileage will vary. - Because Xapian does not support simultaneous WritableDatabase connections, it is *strongly* recommended that users either set `WSGIDaemonProcess processes=1` or override the default SearchIndex class to remove the post-save and post-delete signals that cause an immediate re-index. A sample index with signals removed can be found here: http://gist.github.com/214254. Instead, manually re-index your site content through a cronjob at pre-determined times. A sample cronjob can be found here: http://gist.github.com/216247. Installation ------------ 1.
