Seems like a few of us are been plagued by having exact searches but not related searches. However, I was sort of curious why the SearchQuerySet.autocomplete was able to do what I intended to do, I tried to compile them both together.
So, try to first set up a working autocomplete. After which, you can set this up (With Custom S class SearchFacetedSearchView(FacetedSearchView): template_name = "search_faceted.html" queryset = SearchQuerySet() form_class = FacetedSearchForm facet_fields = ['the_field_wanted'] def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super(SearchFacetedSearchView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) context = { "object_list": SearchQuerySet().autocomplete(the_field_wanted=self.request.GET.get('q', '')), "query": True, } return context This essentially let you use "object_list" and {% if query %} in a "hacky-way". Definitely not the best method out there but it solves the problem temporarily -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "django-haystack" group.
