I have a search function which is already working in views.py but I
want to refine it.

Is this search function a query like MyModel.objects.filter(usernamename=username, ...) or something more specific ?

 

How can I make a model without vowels??

the most performant solution would be to use re sub but str.replace will work too.

 

And what is django-haystack application?

Haystack is a full text search application, it build an index specific for full text search which means it's not suited for the search you are looking to do (also it takes a lot of memory).

 

Can I use it in my project for refining search or is it a normal searching application?

It depends... can you write a query in the form of MyModel.objects.filter(foo=bar, spam=egg) where you document each fields so that we can know better what your are trying to achieve ? Real data is not significant, but full scope of the problem you are trying to solve is.
