Thanks Jim!

Since there appears to be some semblance of organization for this
project:

When all the Wiki articles say install this Extension like a "normal
extension", which have migrate and update tasks, and the Extension
itself informs one to install this Extension like all other
extensions, and then the extension fails to follow the pattern of a
normal extension install, the trust level that all this extension
business works goes down the tubes, and that is too bad. A simple
sentence informing that there is no need to run any tasks would
suffice.

I found the search code reminiscent of the Spree approach, easily
hacked into whatever other search forms as needed and that is nice.

Personally, I guess I would've coded up stubs for the missing tasks,
so that n00bs to the code like me don't get frustrated with the
business of install when following the install docs.

Thanks for the code, hopefully I can make it run well, and then share
my experiences with the community by blogging on any customization or
improvements I can make.
