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.

   border-collapse: collapse;
   width: 95%;
   margin: 1em auto 1em auto;
   border: 1px solid black;
}
div.shoutbox-history th {
    border: 1px solid black;
    padding: 5px 2px;
    text-align: center;
    width: 10%;
}
div.shoutbox-history td {
    border: 1px solid black;
    padding: 5px 5px;
    width: 90%;
}
div.shoutbox-history tr.odd {
    background-color: #ddd;
}
div.shoutbox-history .date {
    font-style: italic;
}

div.shoutbox-history .edit {
    padding: 5px 5px;
}

div.shoutbox-history .edit:hover {
