Would it be better to index Comment rather than Topic? about spirit HOT 5 CLOSED

from spirit.

Can you guide me on how to implement this missing functionality? I would like to retrieve individual comments matching the search.

It's a lot of work. I think most search functionality lives in https://github.com/nitely/Spirit/tree/master/spirit/search . You'll need to add the comment version of it. Things like a search index, views, forms, urls, templates, etc.

For a comment you'll have fields like text (this field must contain the comment text, the search index will use it for searching on it, and it's generated by a template like this , see the haystack docs), comment_id, comment_html, and is_removed at least.

Also, there is a task for indexing topics every time one is created here. You'll need to do the same for comments.

For an initial implementation, I was able to modify spirit.search.views to extract comments from the search results and find only the matching comments and display them. May not scale well for large sites.
