App-store is using haystack and whoosh for searching the apps. Haystack is a search framework and whoosh is a search engine.
To make search work in AppStore:
1. Edit line in django-projects/lib/python3.6/site-packages/haystack/fields.py
From : values.append(current_object()) To: values.append(current_object)
(link: https://github.com/django-haystack/django-haystack/issues/1651, I think this issue is with the version of django or haystack.)
(Without this edit results in haystack error)
2. >python manage.py rebuild_index (This will create indexes to the content present in the Apps app. These indexes are later used to give search results)
(We have to add this line to the Appstore setup)
3. >python manage.py runserver (Run the server and check the search functionality)
Commands:
1. rebuild_index : It deletes all the previous indexes and creates new indexes.
2. update_index : When we add a new app to the appstore we don't have to rebuild all the indexes instead we can update using update_index.
