Installation went well. Search causes errors.

I just installed Trac today on WinXP. Things are working, but I have to admin I am new to Trac and Python. Below is the Traceback and I'm currently working on the issue, but am hitting a brick wall with it.

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named win32con

I found out the installation from python.org does not contain the win32 extentions required. Installed them from ​http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/Downloads.html, however now receiving different error:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'read'

I believe the rest is a configuration issue. However will not close until complete.

Have large repository >650MB and this seems to be the issue. This works with a much smaller repository.

I'll update the RepoSearchPlugin page with a note about that module under Win32.

The indexer could definitely use some optimisation, but a better plan might be to make a C extension for it that performs the indexing.
