Description
If possible, django should provide a way of selecting fields to conduct fulltext search upon.
MySQL supports this in default distribuition, PostgreSQL needs extensions, I don't know about SqLite.

Actually it would be nice to be able to do automatic indexing in _pre_save and removing from the index on _pre_delete on a given model with some class for converting the model to an index object provided to you.
And then there could be a generic view for searches on models.
I'm actually going to implement it using http://hyperestraier.sourceforge.net/
Any hints are welcome

Fulltext search would come handy on custom made portals. Flatfiles can have a lot of content, and it's not searchable. Also django user could want a way to search his content, so it should probably be a field specific option, eg. 'fulltext=True' just like 'blank=True'.
It's just that search is such a powerful feature, that can not be left unimplemented. But sadly i'm not so deep into python to know how to make this happen.

Can you give more specifics? Where would it need to provide full-text search support? Please give concrete examples.
