Add the ability to search for posts #35

SNAPboard currently doesn't have any sort of search function. This would be
very useful.

A search engine for SNAPboard would need to satisfy the following requirements:

  * Display a possibly shortened version of the found posts.
  * Allow the search to be filtered by the user on a selection of categories.
  * Honor category permissions and message privacy.

If possible, it would use the database's full text index and search features.

It looks like djangosearch (http://code.google.com/p/djangosearch/) would
be the best library to implement that (with the features currently in the
soc-new-backends branch). However I didn't yet figure out if we can apply
the category permissions and message privacy filters without first fetching
the search results in memory and doing a second query when not using
PostgreSQL 8.3 or MySQL.
