Welcome to Haystack!
====================
Haystack provides modular search for Django. It features a unified, familiar
API that allows you to plug in different search backends (such as Solr_,
Elasticsearch_, Whoosh_, Xapian_, etc.) without having to modify your code.
.. _Solr: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/
.. _Elasticsearch: http://elasticsearch.org/
.. _Whoosh: https://github.com/mchaput/whoosh/
.. _Xapian: http://xapian.org/
