original entry | PostgreSQL text search in Django |
College Conductor gives educational consultants and counselors access to the information of thousands of U.S. colleges and universities. The most natural method to find these schools is through search. Since College Conductor keeps up with the latest versions of Django, I was able to add search by using PostgreSQL’s full text search that is exposed to the Django ORM. The search features are not perfect, but they provide results quickly and avoid bringing in a more targeted tool like Elasticsearch.
