A quick update! School things are well and truly out of the way now, so I can get to work. I have written a mysql full-text backend, and I am now working on a tsearch2 backend.
http://code.google.com/p/djangosearch/source/browse/branches/soc-new-backends/djangosearch/backends/mysql.py I will also aim to complete a Xapian backend by the end of the summer. If there is time, I will try other backends, such as Sphinx etc. Are there any other backends anyone wants implemented?
