Haystack - Search for Django

Link bookmarked via Diigo on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 @ 08:02 CST by Daniel Andrlik

This is a sweet search application for Django.

When I first wrote my site, I had to patch the model code to have it utilize the native full text search available in PostgreSQL, and then some truly ugly search code for searching all the models in my applications. Haystack, combined with a true search backend like Solr or Xapian is a much better approach. Looks like a great way to implement robust search on your Django site.

Yahoo! to Announce Semantic Web Support - ReadWriteWeb

Link bookmarked via Diigo on Thursday, March 13, 2008 @ 22:16 CDT by Daniel Andrlik

“TechCrunch and Search Engine Land are reporting this morning that Yahoo! will now be indexing Semantic Web and Microformats markup from around the web…”

This is huge. You can pretty much assume that Google intends to follow suit, and if search engines begin indexing things like FOAF, Microformats and geoRSS, the possibilities of the kinds of analysis you can do is astounding.
