Read this: https://spirit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/task_manager.html

Functionality that requires a task manager includes: search indexation.

also email notfications. However, for very small sites you may use the real time indexation (it'll increase the time it takes to post/comment/create topics), see https://django-haystack.readthedocs.io/en/master/signal_processors.html#realtime-realtimesignalprocessor

Thank you very much!

Ciao, As you said, we can use haystack to synchronize but it seems that base.py in settings already done it after we create a new project following proper steps provided. And then we created a topic but searched without anything response. That's the problem encountered. Could you please help？Thanks in advance! @nitely

try running python manage.py rebuild_index that should index existing/old topics, then search. If it works, then set up a task manager https://spirit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/task_manager.html , not sure why the realtime search does not work.

If that command does not work, then there is something wrong with your setup.

btw, are you trying things in a local machine or what?

ok, the whoosh search engine that comes configured by default should probably work (I'm a Linux user, not sure)

The command works and indexing 2 topics, but when I tried to search something response with nothing again.
Actually, I also deploy it to Ubuntu Apache2 and got the same results.

And it still does not work after I set up the huey task manager.

since the topics got indexed, the search should work. Not sure why it does not. Are you searching full words contained in the comments/topic title?

not sure why the realtime search does not work

it does not work, because it requires a task manager. If you remove this check, it should work:

Spirit/spirit/core/tasks.py

Line 107 in 01e5799

if settings.ST_TASK_MANAGER is None:

And it still does not work after I set up the huey task manager.

if python manage.py rebuild_index says it indexed some topics, and they do not show in the search result, then the search just won't work any other way. There is something wrong with your setup, I don't know what it is.

I use the prod.py setting without any significant change and it works for me.

one thing you can check is if you have multiple st_search folders, that's where the whoosh index is stored, if you have more than one it could mean you are indexing the topics in one place, but the server is reading the index from another place.

As you see, I have 3 topics now and when I searched "test" it works well. But failed when searching "LOG".

However, if I searched "如何抓取LOG" and it works.

Search won't find partial words. IIRC, I was working on searching partial words, but the generated index was huge, it went from a few MBs to many GBs. I thought there was a setting to turn this on, but there is not. Anyway, the reason you cannot find LOG is because it's not separated by spaces (ie: it's not considered a whole word).

I made a library to split unicode words a while ago, but in Nim https://github.com/nitely/nim-segmentation
it would separate that string as ["如", "何", "抓", "取", "LOG"], not sure if that's correct, or we need something like the NLKT, or just an option to enable partial words matching.

[catmemo]

Yes, it's correct.

Reopening so I'll fix it

Thanks for your working!

I've added support for Ngram index (search on Asian languages).

The changes is unreleased, so you'll need to install with:

pip install git+https://github.com/nitely/Spirit.git

then add this to your settings:

ST_NGRAM_SEARCH = True

you'll need to rebuild the search index:

python manage.py rebuild_index

and restart the server.

Last time I tried this it generated a huge index, but it works.

I released v0.12.3 with the ST_NGRAM_SEARCH setting
