haystack search startswith

Question

Why when i use:

users = SearchQuerySet().all()
users = users.filter(name__startswith='foo')

i have query with result. And when i use

users = SearchQuerySet().models(UserProfile)
users = users.filter(name__startswith='foo')

i have empty query

Thx :)

Answer 1

From all your models, in which one did you create a SearchIndex ? Do you have a SearchIndex for UserProfile , something like:

from haystack import indexes
from haystack import site


class UserProfileIndex(indexes.SearchIndex):
    ...

site.register(UserProfile, UserProfileIndex)

You can only see models that you have indexed. From the code you've posted, it looks like you haven't indexed UserProfile but some other models.
