The Plone installers for Windows don't bundle the cool TextIndexNG3 fulltext search add-on. To enable it, you need to compile the C extension module that comes with it. There's an older binary version available, but it's expecting Python 2.3, not the 2.4.4 that comes with the bundle. Various posts summarize how to do the compilation, but they don't work as-is for the installer version.After getting mingw32 setup, it took me a little while to realize that the bundled python doesn't have the "include" directory of files, which the compile process obviously needs. So I downloaded the vanilla sources and copied the include directory over, and it compiled perfectly.
