Since we haven’t had time to finish setting up code.curse.com, I pushed both our wikimarkup app, and the SphinxSearch ORM layer to Google code.

wikimarkup is a Python library (Django isn’t required) which allows you to format text based on the MediaWiki standards. Several benchmarks we did have shown this to be 2-2.5x faster than Trac’s wiki formatting.

django-sphinx is a wrapper for the Django ORM and the Sphinx full-text search engine. It allows you to easily build objects using full-text search.

Hello, I’m using your django-sphinx right now for my degree work at Univeristy of Siena, Italy. YOU ARE GREAT.
I’m trying to figure out how to have the relevance of every django-model-object that I get with search.query. I know I can order by @relevance but I need the relevance value too.
Anyway, for me django-sphinx was a lifesaver.

I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. I’m going to rewrite a bit of it to extend QuerySet I think. I’ll include a custom attribute on the base object for the sphinx relevance results, and anything else that may be attached to each object.

I have my own model file but i do not understand where do i put the codes that i downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/django-sphinx/ . Really need you advice and help. Thanks in advance.

Yea, agreed. This Sphinx ORM for Django is really poorly documented.I’ve got both Django site and search engine running on my server, but don’t know how to make them work together. Some basic noob directions would be nice. Tnx. BTW, this blog shows up on top of all “Django Sphinx” searches. Nice…
