for the search functionality, it's better to keep this contained instead of
adding one more black magic (eg. nginx rules)
Note: I've sort of exhausted client-side JS search options; the smallest index
I was able to build was still a few megabytes, way to large for my taste, hence
the SQLite FTS4 python + PHP solution. Yes, it's ugly, but it works, and PHP
is available nearly everywhere. Nearly.
Without something that can set headers properly, it's impossible to do real
HTTP 410 Gone, and even HTTP 301 or 302, so it's very likely I'm stuck with the
minimal PHP solution.
