+
+this one is gonna be more tricky. Solr is a lucene reimplementation
+written in java. That's a full blow search engine, built on jetty and a
+standard jre, so I am not keen on going this way ( unless a java expert
+tell me it is not gonna be a nightmare to package ).
+
+Alternatives are :
+- disable search on tx
+- use xapian
+- use woosh
+
+Woosh ( that I didn't know until today ) is less complete than solr and
+xapian. Given the haystack documentation, it may not be useful for
+transifex ( as it will likely try to provides suggestion, a feature
+called by haystack "more like it" ). But it should be simple to package.
+
+Xapian requires some specific module for haystack, and would offer
+enough features. It is written in c++.
+
+On a side note, xapian is what is used by madb, so it will likely be
+maintained and tested.
+
+I suggest to look at xapian for starting, unless someone say otherwise.
+
+Any comments ?
