Description:

djangooscarpgsearch 0.9.10

Postgresql search handler for Django-Oscar
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. 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

Provide a generic way to use filter forms
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
Basic
Install using pip:
pip install django-oscar-pg-search

# settings.py

# replace 'oscar.apps.search.apps.SearchConfig' by 'oscar_pg_search.apps.PgSearchConfig'
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# 'oscar.apps.search.apps.SearchConfig',
'oscar_pg_search.apps.PgSearchConfig',
]

OSCAR_PRODUCT_SEARCH_HANDLER = 'oscar_pg_search.postgres_search_handler.PostgresSearchHandler'

Trigram search is our search algorithm. Enable it at your database by executing the following sql:
CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;
