I'll spend one day on it for the quick rewhack to return/store full actions instead of what we currently do as this might offer substantial wins, but I'll pretty much assume that for 2009.04, we'll stick with the current implementation and I'll devote my time to adding field search and at least limited internal boolean search for our needs (to filter versions for example). I'll poke around a bit more to see if I can find another search engine with a python API, but I'm not overly hopeful on that front.
