 == Search Engines
 
-Several search engines could be good candidate for handling the search requests, but probably this should be done in a pluggable way, so that different search engines could be supported, including a ''fallback'' engine (i.e. the current SQL-based search in the database), which would require no extra package.

- * DatabaseBackend may also have their own way to implement full text search:
-   - SQLite 3.3.8+ comes with a full-text search module [https://www.sqlite.org/fts3.html FTS3 and FTS4]. [[BR]] This seems to be a long way from useful in its current state, unfortunately. There are no decent build instructions for fts3. More critically, FTS support is also not shipped with any major distribution I'm aware of.

 Not an engine, but might be a source of inspiration nonetheless: [http://haystacksearch.org/ Haystack], modular search for Django, supports Solr, Whoosh and Xapian.
