Thank you! Sounds great, I'll try use it in my projects asap! (i'm one of "the four" someday months ago...)

Brilliant! I was one of those 4 people a couple days ago, and I almost set on Sphinx as my search mechanism (it was the only indexer that had a sensible Django implementation), but now you've put this out I'll give it a try!

Thanks for your work! And well... you can drink at home, just invite your friends over (writing over a Whisky Mac :P)

We have been using solrpy which was relatively easy to get running (took maybe 15 minutes from downloading to having working search), but django-solr does seem to offer improved integration and makes schema-handling easier.

Does your API allow you to pass additional headers to select calls (ie we forward referer information to solr for logging purposes), or more-like-this functionality?

We've pretty much agreed to switch to django-solr going forward though.

Excellent! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Sean,

I got a chance to try it out and I MUST say that you have done an amazing job here. It is really very simple to get this up and running.

I would love to be involved in the project and would like to contribute if I find things that can make it better.

Can you set me up in Google Code?

Thanks,

Hello, I like the effort you have done in documenting this project. Congratulation for this and for this nice application.

As of now I am using djangosearch and solr backend and there is 2 use case that are cover there and that I do not see in your documentation : * Query the documents added in a particular interval of time. I had to modify djangosearch to support this http://code.google.com/p/djangosearch/issues/detail?id=11 * "Advanced search" let the user select the content type he wants to query : Blog Post, Story, Event.

--yml

Sean, Is there a google group or mailing list or IRC where I could get some help to get started.

I have created a search.py updated my settings.py but I try to run --fields I get nothing.

""" ./manage.py solr --fields

""" DO you have any idea of what could be the issue ? Thank you --yml

How about Multi-Value fields? I didn't see anything related to that.

Sean, Using the FloatField was giving me 'type' not defined. Should the default type be set to float there?

[HTML_REMOVED] type = "float" [HTML_REMOVED]

Sean, I couldn't find the code in fields that handles array in the "transform".

Hi, Thanks for your hard work. I'm using this to index a Japanese dictionary, with over 100k records. Unfortunately speed was a large problem at first, so I made some modifications that resulted in a very significant speed increase.

The best thing you could do is to only commit to Solr once at the end of reindexing. If you commit after every document you add, it becomes extremely slow when you have lots of documents.

I'd also like a way to remove some of your default document fields which I don't use.

I could potentially contribute to your project by submitting a patch, but I'm not sure how to. If you tell me then I'd be glad to help.

Thanks

Django Solr is the coolest open source project I've seen in 2009. Kudos to Sean and his coworkers at Opatros.

Hi Sean,

A newbie question .. it is my understanding that django-solr lets you create/indes solr documents out of your django-models? correct? wrong?

Can Django-Solr take my existing "solr-index" and make it searchable via web? I have a existing solr index and like to use Django.. to make it viewable.. (I don't need to index my models.. solr index gets created from another system automatically)

Thanks. Antonio

This is an awesome project, thanks Sean!

mm... luv it :)
