an experiment in completely redoing the search for personal satisfaction

MDID-(re)Search

An investigaiton into ripping out rooibos.solr and replace it with search provided by django-haystack

Why?

TO give some more flexibility of search providers. We had hoped it might also make managing the search index a bit better, but alas.

NOTE - still working it out, this may not work as committed
