[Answered ]-Improving django search

✅

This kind of search is starting to push the boundaries of django and the ORM. Once it gets to this level of complexity I always switch over to a system that is built entirely for search. I dig lucene, so I usually go for ElasticSearch or Solr

Keep in mind that full text searching is a subsystem all unto itself, but can really add a lot of value to your site.

As Django models are using database queries there is not much magic you can do.

You could split your search by non-alphanumeric chars and search objects containing all words but this will not be smart and efficient.

If you want something really smart maybe you should check out haystack:
