Description
Sqlite has two very useful extensions: [Full Text Search](https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html) and [Spellfix search](https://www.sqlite.org/spellfix1.html) that could make searching on Zites more meaningful and very fast.
Looking briefly at files in `src/Db`, I think that it would be a very short change to enable virtual tables: One could just modify a couple of lines in the function [`createTable@DbCursor.py`](https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet/blob/master/src/Db/DbCursor.py#L106-L114).
So a new virtual table using fts5 could be defined as
```
"fts_posts": {
"virtual": true,
"payload": fts5(title, body, uuid UNINDEXED)",
"schema_changed": 1
}
```
that would be translated into `CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE fts_posts USING fts5(title, body, uuid UNINDEXED)`. Update and delete queries works as in a standard table.
It is indeed true that such extensions are optional, but since ZeroNet ships with its built version of sqlite3 I think we can make sure such extensions are enabled.
