Haystack's SearchQuerySet().filter not doing anything (Whoosh 2.4.1, Django-haystack 1.2.7)

Question

views.py (relevant part)

srch = request.GET.get('search', "") 
sqs = SearchQuerySet().filter(has_title=True)
clean_query = sqs.query.clean(srch)
results = sqs.raw_search(clean_query)

search_indexes.py

from haystack.indexes import *
from haystack import site
from myproject.myapp.models import Person

class PersonIndex(SearchIndex):
    text = CharField(document=True, use_template=True)
    name = CharField(model_attr='name')    
    has_title = BooleanField(model_attr='has_title')

site.register(Person, PersonIndex)

models.py

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50) 
    has_title = models.BooleanField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return u'%s' % self.name

When searching, I get my results out of the complete model instead of only those entries were has_title is True. I also ran python manage.py rebuild_index after applying the filter. Why does the filter not work?

I am using Whoosh 2.4.1, Django-haystack 1.2.7 and Django 1.4.

If someone could just confirm that they can successfully use SearchQuerySet().filter with Whoosh 2.4 and Django-haystack 1.2.7 this would already be a big help.

It seems that raw_search(clean_query) just returns every item in sqs again (don't know why), using filter(content=clean_query) instead gets the expected result.

srch = request.GET.get('search', "") 
sqs = SearchQuerySet().filter(has_title=True)
clean_query = sqs.query.clean(srch)
result = sqs.filter(content=clean_query)
