Check haystack search [1] for django. It seems to be quite easy to
learn
and deploy.

I can only work on this in the evening. Have been sneeking into
google
groups and gmail through a proxy. Can't do it too frequently for the
fear
of detection.

Or the other temporary solution would be to put google custom coop
search. I am personally -1 against this.

I understand that - I do not expect your replies until evening/next morning.

Hi,

I have basic search for site ready using haystack and whoosh.
Somehow,
I have not been so impressed with whoosh's indexing (didn't try out
solr,
which is the recommended indexing engine). The best part about whoosh
is that it is very easily installable.

Here is the diff for the site. Please apply it against lawgon's latest
tree:

Currently, it indexes only the Delegate model. We could add
indexes for Talks, Schedules quite easily on similar lines.

Just another note, it requires a manage.py to recreate, add
indexes. So please, add the file back to the repository.
