Searching on Hacks?

Is there a way to turn on content searching on our dreamhacks? I'm trying to test Bug 1847, and I'm getting the "Sorry, content searching is not configured on this server." error. Is there a way for me to configure this?

If not! Should I upload the patch that I think might possibly work as something for someone else to work off of if they want to do the bug, or to be reviewed, or just let it lie?

Yeah, you could conceivably install sphinx in your account, configure and run searchd, set @SPHINX_SEARCHD in config-private.pl, add the sphinx_search role to your database in DBINFO, enable the relevant workers, and away you go. If you can do this, I'd really like to see you add info to this wiki page. If not, maybe someone else can do it, or you can think of a way to pass in some fake search result objects just to test your patch (temporarily replace the sphinx-search-gm worker with a script that doesn't actually use sphinx?)...
