django-oscar-pg-search 0.8.4

Pure Postgresql search backend for Django Oscar

Postgresql search handler for Django-Oscar

Careful: This is originally created inside a project not tested in a reusable environment, yet.

This creates a search handler without the need of any search backend. It is designed for the e-commerce framework Oscar.

It is implemented a little bit expensive but uses 4 annotated search vectors: * upc * title * meta_description * meta_title

This way the search can be manipulated through the meta fields. This package is not testet against generic sites, yet. It is running productive in a heavily customized env for many months now. I think it should scale up to 5000 Products with 10 Attributes depending on how the products are loaded. We use it fully lazy with endless scrolling.

To-Do

• Dynamic creation of the filter fields

• Writing Tests

Features

• Don’t need to use some additional search backend like elastic

• Creates filters (facets) for:

  • Data that is directly attached to the Product model including foreign key choices

  • AttributeValues of the products

  • StockRecord entries

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install django-oscar-pg-search

# settings.py

    # ...
    'oscar_pg_search.apps.PgSearchConfig',

OSCAR_PRODUCT_SEARCH_HANDLER = 'oscar_pg_search.postgres_search_handler.PostgresSearchHandler'

Settings

If you want to add some fields that are directly attached to the Product model:
