How to index CommentsField in Haystack?

I have a comments = CommentsField() in my Django model. I am wondering how can I index this CommentsField() type in Haystack as indexes.CharField(model_attr='comments').

Solution

  • You may do,

    comment = indexes.CharField(model_attr='comments')

    And prepare comment field above as,

    prepare_comment(self,obj):
    return obj.comment

    obj.comment is the actual content of the comment
