Indexing

Word indexing (planned)

For each distribution split up the name and each part of the name becomes a word

For each module name probably the parts of the name might be words though the last part should be the most significants

META.yml might have some keywords stored

Names of the functions / methods

Gull text indexing of the POD for each module

Various sections might have different weight.

Later we will allow users of the site to add keywords to the modules/distributions

Store each keyword in lowercase only and map everything to lowercase for each word include where it could be found
