I'm building a Django project that needs search functionality, and until there's a django.contrib.search, I have to choose a search app. So, which is the best? By "best" I mean...
Here are some apps I've heard of, please suggest others if you know of any:
I'd also like to avoid using a third-party search engine (like Google SiteSearch), because some of the data I'd like to index is for site members only and should not be public.

You would use the __search operator. It's documented in the Django QuerySet API Reference. There's also istartswith, which does a case-insensitive starts-with search. Note that __search is only available in MySQL and requires direct manipulation of the database to add the full-text index.
Yes, Django is stable. Lots of famous websites such as Spotify, Instagram, and Pinterest have been using Django for backend development for a long time. These sites have a huge amount of traffic and thanks to the Django platform they have maintained excellent performance levels.
Check out Haystack Search - a new model based search abstraction layer that currently supports Xapian, Solr and Whoosh. Looks like it's well supported and documented.
