PPS. A local proxy and web history index

I've been meaning to write a web proxy that *did* something to all the data is handled for some time now. I've also been meaning to mess around with Lupy for almost as long :)
PPS is the result of this. It's just a very simple proxy server and search engine - more of a proof of concept that anything approaching a completed project. In essence, I've just welded together a simple proxy server written by Suzuki Hisao and the Python port of Lucene, Lupy, by Divmod.

Once you setup your browser to make use of a proxy server running on 127.0.0.1:8000 then you can run the script and start browsing as normal. PPS will create a folder called pps_index where it will store all of its' indexed data. Each page you visit will be parsed and added to the history database. Eventually, when you need to search for a page that you've visited, or a phrase that you've read but can't remember where - PPS will come in handy. It indexes the URL, page title, date and text which means that you can search for something by date, url, title or just a word in the text of that page that you remember. Obviously, some words will appear in several places but Lupy has a very good phrase search too, so the more specific your search is, the better your results will be.

Usage
To run the proxy:
$ ./pps.py &

To search your web history:
$ ./search.py playaholics

Installation
You will need to install the Lupy before trying to run this. Once you have done that, pps.py can be run from anywhere.
