django-watson is a full-text multi-table search plugin for Django that indexes multiple models and returns relevance-ranked results. It requires no additional third-party services and is easy to install and use.
Use cases
- add full-text search across multiple Django models
- search a Django site without running Elasticsearch or Solr
- rank search results by relevance in Django
- build a site-wide search box over several database tables
- add search to an existing Django app with minimal setup
When to choose
- you use Django and need multi-model full-text search
- you want search without deploying external search infrastructure
- you need relevance-ordered results from PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite
When to avoid
- you need advanced search features like faceting or typo tolerance
- your project is not Django-based
- you need massive-scale search beyond what database full-text indexing handles
