Description

Standard search should search notes field in addition to name, title and tags (discussed in ticket:108 but not done). For this to work we need proper text search since o/w we get poor ordering and lots of bad results.

If we do this we need:

  1. To weight across fields in a sensible way
  2. We can also use proper text search on title or ...

Easiest way to do this is to use existing facilities in dbs e.g. postgres has full text support since 8.3: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/textsearch.html

Using this with sqlalchemy: http://lowmanio.co.uk/blog/entries/postgresql-full-text-search-and-sqlalchemy/
