Haystack 1.0 Final Released. I’ve used Haystack on a number of projects recently, and it has proved itself as a completely painless way of adding full-text search (using Solr or Whoosh—I haven’t tried the Xapian backend yet) to a Django ORM powered project in just a few minutes. Congratulations, Daniel + contributors.

  1. I beg to differ that Haystack is "painless" with Whoosh. Did you ever try spelling to use it for spelling suggestion feature?

    It is nice yes, painless? - not yet, but getting there.

  2. I think depending on your needs, Haystack can range from mostly harmless all the way to insanely great. My experiences have been closer to the insanely great end, but then I haven't tried to add spelling suggestion.

  3. Which one do you recommend for a multilingual project?
