I would like to propose a new filtering method for char fields, that could
be used instead of __exact or __iexact. __similar would return models,
which field is similar to the given string. Example use case looks like
this: user wants to search for some term, so we try to find objects, that
satisfy his query.
{{{
objects = Klass.objects.filter(name__iexact=user_term)
if objects.count() > 0:
return render_to_response('found.html', {'objects': 'objects'})
else:
names = Klass.objects.filter(name__similar=user_term).values('name')
return render_to_response('did_you_mean.html', {'names': names})
}}}
If he inputs name, that can't be found, we try to find to some
suggestions, like Google does. I don't really know, if databases support
this kind of operations. Could this be done? If it can be done and someone
could point me, where I should start, I could try to create a patch.
