Django MySQL full text search - Stack Overflow
You can use full text search in django
MyItem . objects . filter ( title__search = "some search text" )
One thing is - you can't define a fulltext index from a Django model, you need to do in directly in a database (using PHPMyAdmin or SQL query)
See Django documentation:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#search
