How To Use Haystack to Add Results Based on a MultiValueField

models.py

from django.db import models


class Author(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200, default='')

class Article(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200, default='')
    text = models.TextField(default='')
    

search_indexes.py

from haystack import indexes

from myapp.models import Article


class ArticleIndex(indexes.Indexable):
    name = indexes.CharField()
    text = indexes.CharField(indexed=False, document=True)
    authors = indexes.MultiValueField()

    def get_model(self):
        return Article

    def prepare_authors(self, obj):
        return [(author.name) for author in obj.authors.all()]

shell.py

from haystack.query import SearchQuerySet

term = 'foo'

# I know how to filter the results by author
SearchQuerySet().filter(name=term).filter(authors=term)

# How do I search BOTH the `name` and `authors` fields using the same term?
SearchQuerySet().filter(name=term) | SearchQuerySet().filter(authors=term)

What search engine are you using as back-end i am using whoosh, It's not working for me, no results returned.

I know this is a veeery old one, but for future generations I will post the answer: use filter_or like this
SearchQuerySet().filter_or(name=term).filter_or(authors=term)
