Posted by David on Aug. 11, 2009 at 10:05 a.m.
After almost two months of development, xapian-haystack has finally reached 1.0 BETA status!
The latest version has all of the functionality that the Solr backend does, and has quite a bit more than the Whoosh backend does. So, if you're looking to use Django Haystack in your next project, but are wary of installing Solr due to it's huge dependency list, give Xapian a try.
Some of the features provided:
- Term boost
- More like this
- Faceting
- Highlighting
- Spelling suggestions
