As to the patch not working, there is a different patch at <https://github.com/alexsilva/xapian-haystack/commit/a53523d2d0d13929a0729d487e7af79b57ee17a6.diff> which may work.

There is one issue with this patch. Namely it calls force_str() in the section

...

•                # https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/FAQ/UniqueIds#Workingroundthetermlengthlimit

•                # Working round the term length limit

•                word = force_str(word)

•                word_length = len(word)

but xapian_backend.py imports force_text <https://github.com/notanumber/xapian-haystack/blob/master/xapian_backend.py#L13>. They are actually synonymous <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/utils/#module-django.utils.encoding>, but just appliing the patch without changinf force_str to force_text won't work.

The second patch did not work either. Ahh, well.
