+Whoosh is a fast, featureful full-text indexing and searching library
+implemented in pure Python. Programmers can use it to easily add search
+functionality to their applications and websites. Every part of how Whoosh
+works can be extended or replaced to meet your needs exactly.
+
+Some of Whoosh's features include:
+
+- Pythonic API.
+- Pure-Python. No compilation or binary packages needed, no mysterious 
+  crashes.
+- Fielded indexing and search.
+- Fast indexing and retrieval -- faster than any other pure-Python, scoring, 
+  full-text search solution I know of.
+- Pluggable scoring algorithm (including BM25F), text analysis, storage, 
+  posting format, etc.
+- Powerful query language.
+- Pure Python spell-checker (as far as I know, the only one).
