Is this search function a query like MyModel.objects.filter(usernamename=username, ...) or something more specific ? > How can I make a model without vowels?? > the most performant solution would be to use re sub<http://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html#re.sub>but str.replace will work too. > And what is django-haystack application? Haystack is a full text search application, it build an index specific for full text search which means it's not suited for the search you are looking to do (also it takes a lot of memory). > Can I use it in my project for refining search or is it a normal searching > application? > It depends... can you write a query in the form of MyModel.objects.filter(foo=bar, spam=egg) where you document each fields so that we can know better what your are trying to achieve ?
