I would also like to add an optional 'extra' because it is nice to be able
to search like this:
search_text = '"David Cameron" uk'
By quoting search 'phrases' as well as words, you can get a better result.
After all, I would not want every David in the UK to be listed.
I have found that using 'shlex' is a good solution. For example:
import shlex
words = [x for x in shlex.split(search_text)] if search_text else []
I hope this might also be useful to someone wishing to improve their search
options.
