How to include filter in query in haystack?

Question

I cant figure out whats the simplest way to pass a filter to a query set from the urls.py file without having to write a new view. I would like to be able to do something like this:

sqs = SearchQuerySet().exclude(active = False)

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    .....
    (r'^search/', include('haystack.urls'), {'searchqueryset':sqs}),

)

Input much appreciated!

Answer 1

So the reason why the filter was not working is because I was using the Simple backend, which apparently does not support that kind of filter. Problem was solved when I moved to using sorl.
