Talk given at DjangoCon US 2019
Search is a fundamental part of most websites but not built into Django itself. This talk explains how search works, how to configure it from scratch in a new project, and looks at built-in full text search options available via PostgreSQL.
Navigate to the basic_search directory and make sure Pipenv is installed. Then on the command line:
$ pipenv install
$ pipenv shell
(basic_search) $ python manage.py runserver
Navigate to 127.0.0.1:8000.
When done run exit to leave the virtual environment.
Navigate to the full_text_search directory and make sure Docker desktop is installed and running. Then on the command line:
$ docker-compose up -d
Navigate to 127.0.0.1:8000. When done run docker-compose down to stop the running Docker containers.
Superuser admin for both is djangocon and testpass123.
