Django-Haystack returns no results in search form

Question

I am using Django-Haystack with Whoosh backend. When I do a query I get no results. I tried the debugging steps suggested in the Haystack docs by typing the following into a Django shell, and I can see that all the text I want has been indexed.

from haystack.query import SearchQuerySet
sqs = SearchQuerySet().all()
sqs.count()
sqs[0].text

My search.html page has the following section (copied straight from the documentation):

{% for result in page.object_list %}
    <p>
        <a href="{{ result.object.url }}">{{ result.object }}</a>
    </p>
{% empty %}
    <p>No results found.</p>
{% endfor %}

What else can I try?

Answer 1

Well, I have no idea what's happening, but whereas in the examples page.object_list works, in my real project I needed to remove the page prefix. Painful to figure out.

Now this works:

{% for result in object_list %}
  <p>
    <a href="{{ result.object.url }}">{{ result.object }}</a>
  </p>
{% empty %}
  <p>No results found.</p>
{% endfor %}
