[ale] Ale search utility (was Re: [ale] requests for help)

[John Wells]

One thing to mention here...the ale search utility sucks.  No offense to
those who worked hard at getting it set up, but its results are far from
accurate.  In fact, I can search on key words in posts which I *know* are
there, but yet return nothing.

Perhaps it's a configuration issue?  I suspect it's just broken somehow, 
as I seem to remember it working better in the past.  At the very least,
it's a shame, because that archive is a virtual
how-to-do-everything-with-linux-and-related-cool-stuff tome.

Maybe before implementing a complex indexing scheme, we should really just
focus on getting a good search capability in place.

I'd volunteer to help, if anyone else is interested in getting it working...
