There shouldn't be any reason to install whoosh unless the site is configured with full-text search.
Possible Solution
In search.py, wrap import whoosh in a try/catch ImportError, and provide a proper error if the site is configured to use whoosh if it's not available. flask-caching's memcached backend has an example on one way to do this (although it seems overkill for this purpose).
