title: Does anyone have examples of integrating Haystack/Solr with Django?
body: <p><strong>Note:</strong> This question originally applied to <strong>Xapian</strong>, but due to cross-platform issues and poor understanding of Xapian I (our team) chose <strong>Solr</strong> instead.</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for snippets, tricks, tips, links, and anything to watch out for (gotchas). My technology stack includes:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><strike>MySQL 5.1</strike> (Not really pertinent)</li>
  <li>Red Hat and Windows configurations with final deployment to Linux</li>
  <li>Development primarily done on windows machines on my team</li>
  <li><strike>No PHP or Java support in our configurations, ergo no Solr or Django-Sphinx</strike> <strong>Went with Java after all!</strong></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thank you all for the help and insight!</p>
