This python class allows you to use elasticsearch raw queries with django-haystack SearchQuerySet. Most of the code comes from www.stamkracht.com/extending-haystacks-elasticsearch-backend/
import custom_elasticsearch as es
results = es.ConfigurableSearchQuerySet().models(SomeModel)
query = { "bool": { "should": [ { "match": { "text": "milk" } }, { "match": { "text": "yogurt" } } ] } }
results = results.custom_query(query)Just add custom_elasticsearch.py to your app's directory and change the Haystack_Connections settings in your settings.py file as follows where some_app is your app's name:
HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = {
# this is a custom elastic search engine to extend haystack's elasticsearch
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'some_app.custom_elasticsearch.ConfigurableElasticSearchEngine',
'PATH': os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'elastic_index'),
'URL': 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/',
'INDEX_NAME': 'some_app'
}
