Wagtailsearch configuration
============================
Adding extra search fields
--------------------------
- SearchField
- FilterField
- Callable search fields
- Indexing fields in child/related objects
Indexing non-page models

Search Backends
---------------
Wagtail can degrade to a database-backed text search, but we strongly recommend `Elasticsearch`_.
.. _Elasticsearch: http://www.elasticsearch.org/
Default DB Backend
``````````````````
The default DB search backend uses Django's ``__icontains`` filter.
Elasticsearch Backend
`````````````````````
Prerequisites are the Elasticsearch service itself and, via pip, the `elasticsearch-py`_ package:
.. code-block:: guess
pip install elasticsearch
.. note::
If you are using Elasticsearch < 1.0, install elasticsearch-py version 0.4.5: ```pip install elasticsearch==0.4.5```
The backend is configured in settings:
.. code-block:: python
WAGTAILSEARCH_BACKENDS = {
'default': {
'BACKEND': 'wagtail.wagtailsearch.backends.elasticsearch.ElasticSearch',
'URLS': ['http://localhost:9200'],
'INDEX': 'wagtail',
'TIMEOUT': 5,
'FORCE_NEW': False,
}
}
Other than ``BACKEND`` the keys are optional and default to the values shown. ``FORCE_NEW`` is used by elasticsearch-py. In addition, any other keys are passed directly to the Elasticsearch constructor as case-sensitive keyword arguments (e.g. ``'max_retries': 1``).
If you prefer not to run an Elasticsearch server in development or production, there are many hosted services available, including `Searchly`_, who offer a free account suitable for testing and development. To use Searchly:
- Sign up for an account at `dashboard.searchly.com/users/sign\_up`_
- Use your Searchly dashboard to create a new index, e.g. 'wagtaildemo'
- Note the connection URL from your Searchly dashboard
- Configure ``URLS`` and ``INDEX`` in the Elasticsearch entry in ``WAGTAILSEARCH_BACKENDS``
- Run ``./manage.py update_index``
.. _elasticsearch-py: http://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.org

Rolling Your Own
````````````````
Wagtail search backends implement the interface defined in ``wagtail/wagtail/wagtailsearch/backends/base.py``. At a minimum, the backend's ``search()`` method must return a collection of objects or ``model.objects.none()``. For a fully-featured search backend, examine the Elasticsearch backend code in ``elasticsearch.py``.

.. _wagtailsearch_editors_picks:
Editors picks
=============
Editor's Picks are a way of explicitly linking relevant content to search terms, so results pages can contain curated content instead of being at the mercy of the search algorithm. In a template using the search results view, editor's picks can be accessed through the variable ``query.editors_picks``. To include editor's picks in your search results template, use the following properties.
``query.editors_picks.all``
This gathers all of the editor's picks objects relating to the current query, in order according to their sort order in the Wagtail admin. You can then iterate through them using a ``{% for ... %}`` loop. Each editor's pick object provides these properties:
``editors_pick.page``
The page object associated with the pick. Use ``{% pageurl editors_pick.page %}`` to generate a URL or provide other properties of the page object.
``editors_pick.description``
The description entered when choosing the pick, perhaps explaining why the page is relevant to the search terms.
Putting this all together, a block of your search results template displaying editor's Picks might look like this:
.. code-block:: django
{% with query.editors_picks.all as editors_picks %}
{% if editors_picks %}
<div class="well">
<h3>Editors picks</h3>
<ul>
{% for editors_pick in editors_picks %}
<li>
<h4>
<a href="{% pageurl editors_pick.page %}">
{{ editors_pick.page.title }}
</a>
</h4>
<p>{{ editors_pick.description|safe }}</p>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endwith %}

Search
======
Wagtail provides a comprehensive and extensible search interface. In addition, it provides ways to promote search results through "Editor's Picks." Wagtail also collects simple statistics on queries made through the search interface.
Wagtailsearch frontend views

Default Page Search

@ -71,43 +71,6 @@ The search view provides a context with a few useful variables.
``query``
A Wagtail ``Query`` object matching the terms. The ``Query`` model provides several class methods for viewing the statistics of all queries, but exposes only one property for single objects, ``query.hits``, which tracks the number of time the search string has been used over the lifetime of the site. ``Query`` also joins to the Editor's Picks functionality though ``query.editors_picks``. See :ref:`editors-picks`.

You could provide a template in JSON format with extra properties, such as ``query.hits`` and editor's picks, or render an HTML snippet that can go directly into your results ``<div>``. If you need more flexibility, such as multiple formats/templates based on differing requests, you can set up a custom search view.
