Database independent (runs without regexp), easy to use full word search backend. Now works with hyphen. Do not use with default ``filters.SearchFilter`

pip install djangorestframework-word-filter

In your settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS += ('rest_framework_word_filter', )

Compatible with python 2.7+, 3.2+, django 1.4+

Import

from rest_framework_word_filter import FullWordSearchFilter
....

and add to filter backends. Add attribute word_fields to define which fields in model will be used for search.

class FooListView(ListAPIView):
    model = Foo
    queryset = Foo.objects.all()
    serializer_class = FooSerializer
    filter_backends = (FullWordSearchFilter, )
    word_fields = ('text',)

This is my first package, if you find mistake - write me, or send pull-request =)
