Haystack tweaks for Django 1.7.7. I had to upgrade to Haystack 2.3.1 to get it to work with Django 1.7.7. I also had to update the Xapian backend. But I ran into problems. On my laptop anyway (Ubuntu 14.0.4), xapian gets mad when search terms are greater than 245 chars (or something) when indexing. So I created a custom field that would simply omit terms greater than 64 chars and used this field everywhere I previously used a CharField. Secondly, the custom search form was broken now. Something changed in the Xapian backend and exact searches stopped working. Fortunately the auto_query (which I was using originally and broke during an upgrade) started working again. So I cut the search form back over to doing an auto_query. I kept the form the same (3 fields) because I didn't want to change the form and I think it's better that way.

div.comment-list {
    float: left;
    font-size: 18px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #999;
    padding-right: .5em;
}
div.comment {
    padding: 0.5em;
    border-bottom: 1px dashed black;
    font: 12px/18px "Lucida Grande", Verdana, sans-serif; 
    color: #333;
}
div.comment-avatar {
    float: left;
    padding-right: 1.5em;
}
div.comment-text {
}
div.comment-text-removed {
    font-style: italic;
}
div.comment-details {
    clear: both;
    font-size: smaller;
    font-style: italic;
    padding-top: 0.5em;
}
