Whoosh <Hit{}> Issue

Question

I'm working through the Whoosh Quick start guide, and everything seems to be working except that I can't quite replicate the results in the guide.

I'm up to the bit about the Searcher object and when I run the code

print(results[0])

I don't get back an actual result if a match is found, I simply get back

<Hit {}>

whereas in the tutorial, the output is

{"title": "Second try", "path": "/b", "icon": "/icons/sheep.png"}

which is obviously quite a bit more helpful!

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Answer 1

Figured it out.

For those who run into the same problem, I messed up by not explicitly stating that any of the items in my schema were stored - i.e. (stored=True).
