haystack/forms.py: SearchForm.no_query_found() docstring suggests:

"Should you want to show all results, override this method in your
own SearchForm subclass and do return self.searchqueryset.all()."

But this doesn't work - self.searchqueryset.all() returns an empty SearchQuerySet.

QuerySet.all() returns all objects, so it's confusing to me that SearchQuerySet.all() returns the empty set.

Is there a 'proper' way of fetching all objects via the SearchQuerySet? If not, I'll try and find a filter()/exclude() that will trigger the effect I'm after without excluding any objects, but I think the SearchForm.no_query_found() docstring should be corrected because it's just wrong at the moment.

SearchQuerySet().all() returns an empty list.

I know the index is created properly because when I use the basic_search() view, I get results just fine.

Hi guys, I think this might be by design. when using .filter(), my results are coming back fine.

still, I'd like to see .all() return all results! I guess I'm not clear on the purpose of the function.

see the comments in the response to my stack overflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25695904/django-search-setting-haystack-default-operator-or-has-no-effect

I found myself with the same problem: self.searchqueryset.all() returns an empty list.

In my case, this behaviour is related with the field type of text in the SearchIndex:
text = indexes.CharField(document=True, use_template=True) -> self.searchqueryset.all() returns all the objects from the index
text = indexes.EdgeNgramField(document=True, use_template=True) -> self.searchqueryset.all() returns an empty list

With indexes.EdgeNgramField field type, self.searchqueryset.exclude(content='foo'), as proposed, returns the objects from the index.

Thanks for commenting.

Same here. If the field holding the document=True is a EdgeNgramField or NgramField the SearchQuerySet comes empty if no filter is applied.

SearchQuerySet().all() returns an empty list with an EdgeNgramField.

Thanks all for this thread, and @kinuax for the 'excludes' hackaround which works for now.

Hi guys, this is still an undocumented, apparent bug.

I am using sqs = SearchQuerySet().models(Project).exclude(no_such_field="x") to get all currently

Hi Everyone,

I've looked into this issue and it seems that there is a tokenization problem for N-gram fields as they are self_parsing, and do not currently support wildcard searches, such as SearchQuerySet() and SearchQuerySet.all().

I've created a pull request(s?) for this issue, which you can browse below if you are interested in seeing the fix:

• Add support for wildcard regex tokenization mchaput/whoosh#33
• Add support for wildcard regex tokenization whoosh-community/whoosh#576

In the meantime, the simplest solution I've used is sqs = SearchQuerySet().exclude(_text=None)
