django-multilingual-search 2.4.0.beta

A drop-in replacement for the Haystack Elasticsearch backend which allows multilingual indexes for Django.

# django-multilingual-search
A multilingual Haystack plugin for Django and Elasticsearch.
The module is a drop-in replacement for the Haystack `ElasticsearchSearchEngine`.

Instead of a single index it creates an index for each language specified in `settings.LANGUAGES`.

A query is routed to the index of the currently active language.

## Installation

Install with pip:

pip install django-multilingual-search

The major and minor versions of this project correspond to the Haystack version the package was
tested against. This version is for Haystack 2.4.


## Configuration

The app provides a drop-in replacement for the ElasticsearchEngine of Haystack.
To use it, specify this engine in `settings.py`:

HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'multilingual.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchMultilingualSearchEngine',
'URL': 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/',
'INDEX_NAME': 'myproject',
},
}

For automatic indexing of new entries the Haystack
[signal processors](http://django-haystack.readthedocs.org/en/latest/signal_processors.html)
can be used without modification. It is recommended that a custom SignalProcessor be used
instead of the `RealtimeSignalProcessor` because of server timeout issues with the latter.
