### Note

The lightning fast search is powered by [Algolia](https://www.algolia.com) which was generous enough to hand me a big 

enough plan to fit all the indices for the officially supported Django documentation versions.

A big thank you to [@redox](https://github.com/redox) from [@algolia](https://github.com/algolia) :innocent: :beers: :heart:

The index for Algolia was compiled from the zipped Django HTML documentation using a [simple Python script](https://github.com/techouse/django-docs-parser) I wrote.
