"Slim" Indexing #226

Closed dustinrb closed 6 years ago

dustinrb commented 6 years ago

I added an option to buildwatson for only indexing records which match the filter applied during the search.register process.

This option can be selected by ./manage.py buildwatson --slim

I see the prudence of indexing all records to prevent holes in the search index when modifying the register filter, so I left that behavior as the default. On the other hand, I have some tables that have millions of records, including legacy data, where I only need to search 1/10-2/3 of the data, so this should save a significant amount of time.

Thanks for your work on this. It's an excellent addition!
